9-episode travelogue through The Netherlands of 1823, following the itinerary and words as jotted down in the diary of young Dutch author Jacob van Lennep, who hiked -by foot and coach- during three months in the rainy summer of 1823, through the young Kingdom of the Netherlands, eight years after its becoming independent. Author Geert Mak, as narrator, joined me during the sunny summer of 2000 on a trip retracing the footsteps of Van Lennep, with the amazing result that most of the 19th century's locations could be found intact, following the original footpaths and coach-routes. Thus this mini-series turned out to be a living testimony of cultural-history of The Netherlands of 200 years ago.

Marken boys and girls clattering across bridges in their wooden sabots, or studying their lessons on their way to school in slow-moving barges, is one vivid impression. Then we have babies in their cradles or in little wooden chairs on wheels; also Volendam girls in pretty pointed caps and precocious boys smoking long Dutch cigars on the quay. Charming views, too, are those of scenes at a juvenile fete, and the smiling infantile faces, the waving pennants, and the mass of muslin bonnets like a field of white fragile flowers, form a thoroughly enjoyable and goodly sight. The boys, too, win our hearts with their dabbling in the water, and the ingenious way in which they will rig up a sail on their sabots to make serviceable and seaworthy toy boats. Zeeland children next figure on the screen. Dancing, playing or smiling shyly at the cinematographer they pass in review before our eyes, a happy crowd fresh and pleasant to look upon.
