¶ "[The Perfect] Christmas present. The bleak, foggy London and the dimly lit evening hours are beautifully depicted with smooth watercolor plates. [...] Famous Dutch writers can be recognized in some characters: [such as Peter van Straaten and Hafid Bouazza]. Ebenezer Scrooge looks like Gerrit Komrij, Marley is like Jan Wolkers and AFTh. van der Heijden shows up as a ghost." - NRC Handelsblad.
