Hayo just finished reading Maurits, zoon van de Zwijger by Thera Coppens

I really wanted to read a biography of the sons of William of Orange, as they are known as very innovative warlords. This book wasn't very good. The author is best known for writing musicals, a format that really doesn't work here. The made up conversations border on silly. Some historical accuracy is there. But you need to hunt for it.

@botanyone That's midnight my time but I'd welcome help from ranunculus experts! These stone carvings dating from 1638-40 were said in 1959 to be #ranunculus but I''m not sure why? Leaves look quite wrong? What is depicted on the right?
