Tales of living with the water
Biography of the North Sea is about the water, but more so about how people live with that water. In twenty stories, Arie Kok tells about Doggerland, about Willibrord who came over the North Sea to the Netherlands, about Viking Knut who became king of England, about fishermen and boatmen, the privateers of Dunkirk, the merchants of The Hanseatic League and rescuers at sea. About Dorestad and the golden age of the Frisians, sea battles, Dutch-English naval wars and floods. Together all these stories tell a larger story of how the North Sea shaped the bordering countries and their inhabitants.
