WHY THE DUTCH ARE DIFFERENT
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "Provides the answers to all questions I had but didn't dare ask about the Netherlands" Stranded at Schipol airport, Ben Coates called up a friendly Dutch girl he'd met some months earlier. He stayed for dinner. Actually, he stayed for good. Ben Coates delves into the heart of his adopted homeland and explores why one of the world's smallest countries is so significant and so fascinating. He also discovers a country that is changing fast, with the Dutch now questioning many of the liberal policies that made their country famous. You will find out... . who really captured Anne Frank . why Amsterdam's brothels are going out of business . which town has the best carnival outside Brazil . why the Dutch are the tallest people on Earth A personal portrait of fascinating people, a sideways history and an entertaining travelogue, this is the story of a man who went Dutch - and loved it. Full of fascinating details. Coates is entirely convincing in his affectionate portrait.
