Suspense novel I read


I read the novel "The Miniaturist" by Jessie Burton. This story is set in the 1600's in Amsterdam. This novel features a law that is passed outlawing dolls, puppets and even gingerbread men. I thought of this cartoon right away. I don't know if this is based on a real law back then or not but it is interesting. You can buy the book on amazon.com.

Mayor in Dutch is "burgemeester" which is similar, but this guy seems more German. That does not mean that it is not based on it though.
