Kwak Episode 4|episode 4]] of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]]. The song isn't given a name in the book, but is referred to as Kukeleku's last ballad. [[Anton Snorman]] also sings this song for [[Meester Bas Buldog]] while playing on the piano on page 166.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''Kukeleku van nu en dan,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''van dan en nu&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ben ik bij de één&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dan verlang ik naar de ander.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ben ik bij de ander&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dan denk ik aan diegeen,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''diegeen die ik niet ken,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''maar ooit nog wel zal kennen.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hennen genoeg die ik nog niet ken.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ik wil altijd zijn&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''waar ik niet ben.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Kukeleku van nu en dan,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''van dan en nu.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Kukeleku van nu en dan,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''van dan en nu.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ----<br /> ''Cock-a-doodle-doo of now and then,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''of then and now&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''When I am with one&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''then I long for the other.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''When I am with the other&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''then I think of the one,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''the one I do not know,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''but will someday come to know.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Plenty of hens I do not yet know.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I always want to be&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''where I am not.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Cock-a-doodle-doo of now and then,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''of then and now.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Cock-a-doodle-doo of now and then,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''of then and now.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Lied voor Dolf de Kraai==<br /> : ''(lit. &quot;Song for Dolf the Crow&quot;)''<br /> The song [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] sings to soothe [[Dolf de Kraai]] while stuck in [[The well|the well]] also doesn't have a name and is a song Alfred improvises on the spot on page 66. Dolf doesn't like it.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''Ik zou mijn hoofd wel op je schouder willen leggen,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''maar jouw ellebeoog duwt mij weer opzij.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ik zou je zoveel lieve dingen willen zeggen,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''maar ik vraag me af: Geef jij wel iets om mij?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ik zou je als een kleine vogel willen wiegen,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''als een kleine zwarte vogel op mijn schoot,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''maar ik en bang dat je gaat schelden en gaat liegen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en daarom zijn we allebei&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''als de dood,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''ja, nu zijn we allebei&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''als de dood...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ----<br /> ''I would like to lay my head upon your shoulder,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''but your elbow pushes me aside again.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I would like to tell you so many sweet things,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''but I wonder: Do you care about me at all?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I would like to rock you like a little bird,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''like a little black bird upon my lap,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''but I am afraid you’ll start cursing and lying&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and that is why we are both&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''scared to death,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''yes, now we are both&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''scared to death...&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Nog nooit==<br /> : ''(lit. &quot;I have never&quot;)''<br /> [[Henk de Mol]] tells the story about his friend [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] who fell in love with [[Anna van de Polder]] and wrote this song about her, which he starts to sing for [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] starting page 82. This is based on [[Nog Nooit (M12)]] from the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]].<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''Nog nooit''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''in heel mijn leven&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''zag ik zo'n lieve eend&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''eentje zoals jij&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''je snavel is de liefste&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''je vleugels zijn de zachtste&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''je krusltaart is de wipste&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''van de plas&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''werkelijk de allerliefste wipste van de plas&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''als ik je zie zwemmen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''kopje onder duiken&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en je komt weer boven water&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dan,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''weet ik zeker&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''boven alles&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dat ik niets liever meer&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''zou willen dan&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''voor jou...&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''een nestje bouwen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''met je trouwen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''samen eitjes maken&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dan voor altijd&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''immer ooit&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''samen waggelen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en kwaken&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ----<br /> ''Never before''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''in all my life&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''have I seen such a sweet duck&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''one just like you&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''your beak is the sweetest&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''your wings are the softest&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''your curly tail is the perkiest&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''on the pond&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''truly the very sweetest, perkiest one on the pond&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''when I see you swimming&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''diving under headfirst&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and you come back up above the water&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''then,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I know for certain&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''above all else&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''that there is nothing I&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''would want more than&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''for you...&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''to build a little nest&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''to marry you&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''to make little eggs together&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''then forever&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''ever after&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''to waddle together&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and quack&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Olkas Huisvloer Hallen jingle==<br /> : ''(lit. &quot;Olkas Flooring Halls jingle&quot;)''<br /> On page 123 [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] listens to [[Polderstad#Omroep Polderstad|Omroep Polderstad]] and he hears an enthusiastic [[:Category:Woodpecker Character|woodpecker]] read the first paragraph of this jingle, and then a [[:Category:Cat Character|cat]] choir sings the rest. This is a jingle to [[Kaspar Rokodil and Olaf Nijlpaard's companies#De Olkas Huisvloer Hallen|De Olkas Huisvloer Hallen]], one of [[Kaspar Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]]'s companies. <br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''Dus, dieren, niet meer zelf fröbelen!''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Tien procent korting, ook op de meubelen!&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Het zal u allen zeer bevallen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''in onze Olkas Huisvloer Hallen&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Probleemloos ook uw auto stallen&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''bij de Olkas Huisvloer Hallen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ----<br /> ''So, animals, no more do-it-yourself projects!''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ten percent off, even on furniture!''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''You will all be very pleased''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''at our Olkas Home Flooring Halls''&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''You can also park your car without any trouble''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''at the Olkas Home Flooring Halls.''&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door jingle version 1==<br /> : ''(lit. &quot;Nijlrok Eat-up-and-swallow version 1&quot;)''<br /> On page 141 and 142 [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] and [[Henk de Mol|Henk]] listen to the radio and hear [[Krabnagel de Kater]] sing the jingle to [[Kaspar Rokodil and Olaf Nijlpaard's companies#Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door|Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door]], one of [[Kaspar Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]]'s companies, directed by [[Anton Snorman]]. <br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''Maar op elke snelweg stop ik voor''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''een restaurant Hap-in-slik-door!&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Zo doet ons hele kattenkoor&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Nijlrok!

[[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] hears it for the first time. On page 154 Alfred remembers part of the lyrics. <br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''Je hebt niemand meer''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die jouw glas inschenkt&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en niemand die met jou wil spelen,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''er is niemand meer&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die jouw kant uit wil gaan,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die zich met jou geen moment zal vervelen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Niemand meer, maar&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''je hebt mij toch!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Geen levende ziel&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die jouw leven verlengt&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''als in kamers het licht wordt ontstoken,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''nee, geen levende ziel:&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''de tv gaat aan&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en geen zegel wordt nu nog verbroken.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Je dwaalt door de jaren.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Wie jij nu gedenkt&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die kunnen allang niet meer praten.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ik, ik ben iedereen kwijt&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''maar bij jou blijf ik staan&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''want bij jou word ik binnengelaten.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Je hebt niemand meer, maar&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''je hebt mij toch!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ----<br /> ''You have no one left''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''to pour your glass&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and no one who wants to play with you,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''there is no one left&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''who wants to go your way,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''who would never be bored with you for a moment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''No one left, but&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''you still have me!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Not a living soul&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''to prolong your life&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''when the lights are turned on in rooms,&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''no, not a living soul:&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''the TV is switched on&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and no seal is broken anymore.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''You wander through the years.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Those you now remember&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''can no longer speak at all.&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I, I have lost everyone&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''but I remain standing by you&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''because with you I am let inside.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''You have no one left, but&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''you still have me!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Minstrel Kukeleku's final song==<br /> <br /> The very last recorded song of the minstrel seems to be about an impossible meeting, between Alfred daydreaming and the minstrel himself, and Kukeleku's fascination with Alfred's [[wikipedia:Ballpoint pen|ballpoint pen]]. The song is read by [[Meester Bas Buldog]] on page 171.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;''&lt;nowiki&gt;'&lt;/nowiki&gt;k Ontmoette op het marktplein''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''te [[Polderstad]] een [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|eendje klein]];&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''het had een veer — zo wonderbaarlijk —&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''met inkt erin!

<p>Dougurasu: </p> <hr /> <div>Throughout the series and specifically in the book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], the character of [[Kaspar Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]] have set up many projects together. In the book they specifically merge their names to form different chains of restaurants or other services. The book unfortunately confuses [[Kaspar Rokodil]] with his father [[Alfons Rokodil]], meaning that sometimes this article is referring to the book instead of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]].<br /> <br /> ==Companies from the books==<br /> ===De Olkas Huisvloer Hallen===<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The Olkas Flooring Halls&quot;)<br /> The name &quot;Olka&quot; was formed by combining the first parts of their given names. De Olkas Huisvloer Hallen was a chain of stores, one of which was located in [[Polderstad#Polderstad-Centrum|Polderstad-Centrum]], behind the [[Stompe Toren]]. An old monastery from the [[Polderstad#Middle Ages|Middle Ages]] was demolished to make way for the store. Similar developments occurred in the historic districts and town centres of other settlements across [[Groot Waterland]], where older buildings were demolished to make way for similar retail establishments. This caused many animals to have to flee to sub-urbs.&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO107&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 107''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Nijlrok Hap-in-slik door===<br /> : ''(lit. &quot;Nijlrok Eat-up-and-swallow&quot;)''<br /> The name &quot;Nijlrok&quot; was formed by combining the first parts of their family names. Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door was a chain of highway restaurants with catchy jingles. These jingles were sung by [[Krabnagel de Kater]] and directed by [[Anton Snorman]] at the behest of Nijlpaard and Rokodil. [[Songs from De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)#Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door jingle version 1|Three of these jingles]] were featured in [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]].<br /> <br /> They started this chain in [[Breed Rietland]] and when that proved successful, they proceeded to expand their business to [[Groot Waterland]].&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO107&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;p164&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 164 &amp; 165''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Television station===<br /> To continue to promote Olkas Huisvloer Hallen and Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door Nijlpaard and Rokodil decided to start a television station in [[Hoog Bergland]].

In [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen]] and [[De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak: De zeven eieren]], he is referred to as Woerd. [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] elaborates further, naming him Hans 'Woerd' van de Polder, mentioning that people usually refer to him as Woerd. <br /> <br /> As [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] is narrated by Henk de Mol, it could be interpreted that Henk inadvertently swapped the names of Jan and Hans. Additionally, Woerd may be a nickname used to differentiate him from his son, who could then be referred to as Jan van de Polder Junior to align the various versions of the story.<br /> <br /> Hans could either be another sibling, or Jan van de Polder Junior could actually be called Hans van de Polder.&lt;/ref&gt;.

Their eldest brother, Alfred, would occasionally leave the nest to explore, prompting [[Henk de Mol]], Johan's friend, and Johan himself to retrieve him. Shortly after Alfred was returned, the entire family—ducklings and their father—were lifted into the sky, clog and all, by an excavator operated by the [[Beton Maatschappij]]. Johan kept his children safe, ensuring none fell to the ground. Although he protested, the project manager, [[Olaf Nijlpaard]], held permits to build in their home, the [[Plaspoelpolder]], forcing the family to watch from a distance as [[Groot Speelgoed Land]] was constructed.<br /> <br /> A few days later, the family departed for [[Groot Waterland]], heading to start a new life in the mining house owned by [[Alfred de Mol|Henk de Mol's grandfather]] near [[Polderstad]]. The seven ducklings followed Johan and Anna, who carried their living clog. From afar, the children grew frightened by the fireworks marking the opening of Groot Speelgoed Land. After a brief pause, they resumed their journey. When rain began to fall, Anna placed four of the seven ducklings into the clog for shelter.<br /> <br /> During the journey, Alfred became distracted by a frog, prompting Henk to chase after him. As Johan, Anna, Clara, Hans, Jan, Josefien, Marjolein, and Robert crossed the street, they were struck by a car carrying [[Alfons Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]] in a [[wikipedia:hit-and-run|hit-and-run]], resulting in the deaths of the entire family.<br /> <br /> ==Family Tree==<br /> {{Alfred family tree}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Voice actors==<br /> {| style=&quot;width: 70%;&quot; text-align:right;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Japanese<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |Unknown<br /> | ¦<br /> | Unknown<br /> |-<br /> | Dutch<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |[[Marlous Fluitsma]], [[Ryan van de Akker]], [[Laura Vlasblom]], [[Doris Baaten]]<br /> | ¦<br /> | Clara, Hans, Jan, Josefien, Marjolein and Robert<br /> |-<br /> | German<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |Unknown<br /> | ¦<br /> | Unknown<br /> |-<br /> | English<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |Unknown<br /> | ¦<br /> | Unknown<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J.

The other four ducklings are distinguished by their hairstyles. One male duckling is depicted with a quiff, while the other has curly brown hair. The female ducklings both have tails of hair or feathers. The duckling with the longer tail has it gathered with a hairband, whereas the duckling with the shorter tail ties it with a pink bow.

He was said to be named after [[Jan 'Woerd' van de Polder|Anna's father]]&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;In the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]], Jan van de Polder is identified as Anna's father, a name provided by [[Henk de Mol]]. However, the books assign him a different name. In [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen]] and [[De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak: De zeven eieren]], he is referred to as Woerd. [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] elaborates further, naming him Hans 'Woerd' van de Polder, mentioning that people usually refer to him as Woerd. <br /> <br /> As [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] is narrated by Henk de Mol, it could be interpreted that Henk inadvertently swapped the names of Jan and Hans. Additionally, Woerd may be a nickname used to differentiate him from his son, who could then be referred to as Jan van de Polder Junior to align the various versions of the story.<br /> <br /> Hans could either be another sibling, or Jan van de Polder Junior could actually be called Hans van de Polder.&lt;/ref&gt;.

Their eldest brother, Alfred, would occasionally leave the nest to explore, prompting [[Henk de Mol]], Johan's friend, and Johan himself to retrieve him. Shortly after Alfred was returned, the entire family—ducklings and their father—were lifted into the sky, clog and all, by an excavator operated by the [[Beton Maatschappij]]. Johan kept his children safe, ensuring none fell to the ground. Although he protested, the project manager, [[Olaf Nijlpaard]], held permits to build in their home, the [[Plaspoelpolder]], forcing the family to watch from a distance as [[Groot Speelgoed Land]] was constructed.<br /> <br /> A few days later, the family departed for [[Groot Waterland]], heading to start a new life in the mining house owned by [[Alfred de Mol|Henk de Mol's grandfather]] near [[Polderstad]]. The seven ducklings followed Johan and Anna, who carried their living clog. From afar, the children grew frightened by the fireworks marking the opening of Groot Speelgoed Land. After a brief pause, they resumed their journey. When rain began to fall, Anna placed four of the seven ducklings into the clog for shelter.<br /> <br /> During the journey, Alfred became distracted by a frog, prompting Henk to chase after him. As Johan, Anna, Clara, Hans, Jan, Josefien, Marjolein, and Robert crossed the street, they were struck by a car carrying [[Alfons Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]] in a [[wikipedia:hit-and-run|hit-and-run]], resulting in the deaths of the entire family.<br /> <br /> ==Family Tree==<br /> {{Alfred family tree}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Voice actors==<br /> {| style=&quot;width: 70%;&quot; text-align:right;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Japanese<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |Unknown<br /> | ¦<br /> | Unknown<br /> |-<br /> | Dutch<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |[[Marlous Fluitsma]], [[Ryan van de Akker]], [[Laura Vlasblom]], [[Doris Baaten]]<br /> | ¦<br /> | Clara, Hans, Jan, Josefien, Marjolein and Robert<br /> |-<br /> | German<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |Unknown<br /> | ¦<br /> | Unknown<br /> |-<br /> | English<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |Unknown<br /> | ¦<br /> | Unknown<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J.

While black [[:Category:Duck_Character|ducks]] will become an important part of the narrative at the start of season 2 of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]], it seems that some ducks can be born black or with dark spots, without being a relative to originally black ducks. The other four ducklings are distinguished by their hairstyles. One male duckling is depicted with a quiff, while the other has curly brown hair. The female ducklings both have tails of hair or feathers. The duckling with the longer tail has it gathered with a hairband, whereas the duckling with the shorter tail ties it with a pink bow. Out of the females only one of them has extra eye lashes, which can be considered a [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TertiarySexualCharacteristics tertiary sexual characterstic]&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteBook|CCD}}&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> Apart from making noises they have little to no dialogue, however in [[Alfred J.

''''Alfred Jodocus Kwak's Dream'''') is a book written by [[Herman van Veen]] and [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] about [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] coming to grasp with what happened to his parents, [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] and [[Anna van de Polder]], and death in general. It could be considered a [[wikipedia:Coming of age|coming of age]] story.<br /> <br /> The book tells the story of [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 1|episodes 1]], [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 2|2]], [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 4|4]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 5|5]] through flashback and retellings through [[Henk de Mol]] and the story of [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 12|episode 12]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 13|13]] as it's happening in the present of the narrative. <br /> <br /> Several characters unnamed in the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] get named for the first time in this story. <br /> <br /> ==Story==<br /> <br /> ===Summary===<br /> [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] has finished his [[wikipedia:Secondary education|middle school]] exams and despite it being the [[wikipedia:Summer vacation|summer vacation]] he's feeling depressed, wanting to know where he comes from. Usually he visits his adoptive father, [[Henk de Mol]], for a game of [[Chess|chess]], however instead he wants to have a ''Goed Gesprek'' (lit. &quot;Good Talk&quot;) with him. Having a goal makes him enthusiastic about life again, until he runs into [[Dolf de Kraai]], which immediately sours his mood. Trudging along the [[Polderstad#Polderweg|Polderweg]] the aging [[:Category:Butterfly Character|butterfly]] [[Amanda de Vlinder]] finds him and sits on his shoulder. She explains her outlook on life that you shouldn't worry about things. While Alfred doesn't agree with her, he does find some solace and starts dreaming about his time in [[wikipedia:Primary education|primary school]].<br /> <br /> It was winter and Henk sends Alfred to school with an outfit similar to his and a [[Alfred's scarf|red scarf]]. On his way Alfred's bullied by Dolf and [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes Ganzenbord]]. At [[Polderstad#School|school]] [[Meester Bas Buldog]] tells them about [[Polderstad]] in the [[Polderstad#Middle ages|middle ages]] and Alfred has a dream within a dream. He dreams about the middle ages and meeting a troubadour named [[Kukeleku]]. After he awakes in class Meester Bas tells the children about a [[The well|well]] near the city and how the ashes of people ostracized from the city would be spread there. <br /> <br /> Alfred and Dolf get into a fight after school and Alfred accidentally wipes some shoe polish off of Dolf's beak, revealing it is actually yellow. Dolf runs away, but Alfred finds him again near the well. Dolf is startled and plummets into the well and after Alfred tries to save him, he too drops down. They sit there and Dolf confesses that [[Miriam Merel|his mother]] was a [[:Category:Thrush Character|thrush]] and not a [[:Category:Crow Character|crow]], giving him a yellow beak. Alfred promises to keep it a secret. They are saved by Henk after they think he might be one of the spirits of the people who's ashes were dropped into the well. <br /> <br /> Alfred is awoken from his dream and is back on the [[Polderstad#Polderweg|Polderweg]]. It was Henk that found him sleeping. Both of them go to [[Henk's mine house]] and Alfred starts his ''Goed Gesprek''. Henk is reluctant, but eventually he starts explaining how he was born in [[Breed Rietland]] and his parents were [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]], a good friend of Henk's, and [[Anna van de Polder]]. Alfred is taken aback as he was sure he was born in [[Groot Waterland]] like Dolf, but Henk also reveals that Dolf was born to [[Miriam Merel]] and [[Schor de Kraai]] in Breed Rietland as well. Dolf explains how Schor and Johan were always in fights and how Schor neglected and abused his wife and only son. According to Henk he was even responsible for Miriam's death. <br /> <br /> Henk tells the story of Alfred's parents, how they met and how they would eventually marry. They had seven children, among which was Alfred, but their happiness wasn't longlasting. [[Beton Maatschappij|Construction company Bart Bever Beton B.V.]] starts construction a huge amusement park as funded by [[Kaspar Rokodil]]&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;This is inconsistent with the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]]; in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|original episode]] this role belongs to [[Alfons Rokodil]]. This is apparent from a different character design with a different name in the [[Character- and Color-Designs for Alfred J. Kwak]] design book and the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#Production|outlines]] written by [[Herman van Veen]] for the first episode.&lt;/ref&gt; and organized by [[Olaf Nijlpaard]], causing the whole [[Plaspoelpolder]] population to need to emigrate. Johan and Henk try to argue with Rokodil and Nijlpaard, but to no avail. <br /> <br /> ===Chapter by chapter summaries===<br /> ====De grote vakantie====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The summer holiday&quot;)''<br /> [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] has just finished his exams and passed with flying colors and can now enjoy his summer break. However he can't enjoy it as he's feeling depressed. He promised [[Henk de Mol]], his adoptive father, to play their weekly [[Chess|chess]] game, but has no motivation to play. Instead he does have motivation to talk to Henk in a ''Goed Gesprek'' (lit. &quot;Good Talk&quot;), specifically because he has realized that he doesn't remember his parents anymore. He's always accepted Henk to be his father, but as a mole that doesn't make sense. <br /> <br /> Having a goal makes him enthusiastic about life again and he's more easily able to reflect on his somber morning. He walks past [[Inspecteur Holmes de Hond|inspecteur Holmes de Hond]] and the [[Drieling Mus|sparrow triplets]] feeling good about himself again. That is until he runs into [[Dolf de Kraai]]. Internally he bigs himself up not to fall prey to Dolf's taunts, but as Dolf keeps ironically congratulating him on acing his exams, Alfred's mood flips once more. Dolf also brings up Henk as his father and proclaims that he will go into politics instead of studying.<br /> <br /> ====Amanda====<br /> Alfred is depressed once more and trudges along the [[Polderstad#Polderweg|Polderweg]] until [[Amanda de Vlinder]], the aging butterfly, flies down and lands on his shoulder. She shares with him her unique outlook on life, how nothing really matters and therefore it's easy to live carefree. At first Alfred follows along with her logic, but soon he finds herself annoyed with this line of thinking and instead asks her to tell Henk that he will be a little later. <br /> <br /> Alfred lays down in the meadows, feeling very tired, and takes a nap. He dreams about a day long ago when he was still a child and living at [[Henk's mine house]]. Because it's snowing Henk gives Alfred some jeans with suspenders that look just like the clothing Henk usually wears. When Henk hugs Alfred goodbye they hear the sound of Dolf teasing him. He's flanked by [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes Ganzenbord]] who repeat what Dolf says.<br /> <br /> Alfred wakes up shortly as Amanda tells him that she has relayed the message. As quickly as he woke up he falls asleep again and continues his dream about a young Dolf teasing him and his father. Lucky for him school is about to start.<br /> <br /> ====De troubadour====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The troubadour&quot;)'' <br /> [[Meester Bas Buldog]] awaits his students at the doorway to the [[Polderstad#School|school]]. He pets them all individually when they enter. As he thinks about retiring soon Alfred, and then a little later Dolf, Wannes and Hannes come in. Meester Bas starts teaching about the middle ages, telling the kids about a [[Polderstad]] from [[Polderstad#Middle ages|800 years ago]], about how the market place was a social meeting place. As Meester Bas talks about minstrels and troubadours Alfred slowly falls asleep in his dream and has another dream. He hears the minstrel [[Kukuleku]] sing a song and then Alfred asks him for his autograph. Kukeleku is flummoxed by the balpoint pen and Alfred's mention of a ''schoolplein''&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;''Schoolplein'' translates to &quot;School yard&quot;, but in a very literal sense it translates to &quot;School square&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; and wonders where this square is so he can capitalize on it. The minstrel signs Alfred's schoolbook, but as he does Alfred is awoken by Meester Bas who scolds him for falling asleep. In a corner Dolf is laughing on the inside as Alfred is lectured.<br /> <br /> ====Schoensmeer====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;Shoe polish&quot;)''<br /> Meester Bas continues his lesson about the middle ages and talks about how people frowned upon others behaving slightly differently than the norm. They would be ostracized, especially women who broke generally accepted social norms, and burnt at the stake. Their ashes would be taken to [[The well|the well]] on the [[Polderstad#Brede Buitenweg|Brede Buitenweg]] and thrown into it. After class Dolf starts teasing Alfred about how him having a mole father would be enough for him to be burnt at the stake. This makes Alfred livid and he almost strangles Dolf, but when he comes to his senses he sees that Dolf's beak has turned yellow and Alfred has black grime on his hands. Dolf is so embarrassed at Alfred finding out his beak is yellow and he runs off, shouting he's going to fly himself into the [[De Stompe Toren|Stompe toren]]. Alfred tries to follows, desperate to prevent him from killing himself.<br /> <br /> ====In de put====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;In the well&quot;)''<br /> Alfred finds Dolf near the well, using a brush to put [[Shoe polish|shoe polish]] on his beak. Alfred appraoches him, but in doing so startles Dolf and he falls down the well, breaking his wing. Alfred bravely tries to get him out of there by climbing down the rope that was originally attached to a bucket. However, the rope was too old and brittle to carry Alfred's weight and he plummets onto Dolf. Alfred makes a [[wikipedia:Sling (medical)|sling]] for Dolf's wing. Alfred says their parents will come and look for them, but Dolf isn't so sure. <br /> <br /> ====De geest die geen rust kan vinden====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The spirit that can't find peace&quot;)''<br /> Dolf confesses to Alfred that [[Miriam Merel|his mother]] was a [[:Category:Thrush Character|thrush]] and not a [[:Category:Crow Character|crow]], giving him a yellow beak. Alfred tries to convince him that it's not a big deal, but Dolf doubles down and tells him that just like in the middle ages Alfred also needs to be scared of being burnt at the stake, just like the witches from Meester Bas' lecture. Then the two hear a scary echo-y voice calling Alfred.<br /> <br /> ====Een Goed Gesprek====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;A Good Talk&quot;)''<br /> Alfred is woken up by Henk who had looked for him. He's there to pick him up. Alfred tells him about his dream of him and Dolf being stuck down the well and Henk recalls how he found them and called out. And how Dolf and Alfred had mistaken his voice for a witch. Luckily it all worked out in the end. <br /> <br /> Having arrived at Henk's mine house Alfred declines the game of chess and instead demands Henk tell him where he came from. At first Henk is reluctant to start a conversation about that and tries to change the subject, but when Alfred insist he starts to tell about his old friend [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]]. <br /> <br /> Johan and he were floating in Johan's clog boat through the [[Plaspoelpolder]] in [[Breed Rietland]], when they heard the song of a female [[:Category:Duck Character|duck]]. Henk took it upon himself to introduce Johan to the source of the singing, namely [[Anna van de Polder]]. Falling completely in love Johan spent the rest of the day and part of the night working on a [[Nog Nooit|song]]. Just as he was about to find Anna again and sing his song, when he saw [[Henri Dropshot]] and [[Johnny Hollyday]] fighting over her. He took his chance and the interaction resulted in a relationship that bloomed. They were wed shortly after, Henk serving as Johan's [[wikipedia:Groomsman#Best_man|best man]] and Amanda de Vlinder as Anna's [[wikipedia:Bridesmaid|bridesmaid]]. <br /> <br /> Alfred asks him if he means Amanda who he had spoken to today, and Henk says that the Amanda from the wedding is current Amanda's great-great-great-great-grandmother. Henk continues to tell Alfred that Johan and Anna laid 7 eggs and suddenly Alfred realizes he's not from Groot Waterland, but from Breed Rietland. Alfred starts crying saying that Dolf ''is'' from [[Groot Waterland]] and he isn't, which prompts Henk to correct him; Dolf was ''also'' born in Breed Rietland. <br /> <br /> ====Geboren====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;Born&quot;)''<br /> Henk tells about Dolf's father [[Schor de Kraai]], whom Johan was regularly arguing with. According to Henk, Schor already almost didn't recognize Dolf as he was having memory problems, especially after the death of his wife [[Miriam Merel]]. Schor and Miriam also made an unannounced maternity visit at Johan and Anna's nest. Anna had taken a break, leaving Johan to defend the quality of the eggs against Schor, especially the one that Alfred would be born out of. Johan grabbed it and given it to Henk for safe keeping. At right that moment Alfred had hatched in front of Henk. Henk told the parents that the duckling reminded him of his own grandfather, [[Alfred de Mol]] and Johan and Anna decide to name their firstborn after him. [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]] hatched the next day.<br /> <br /> ====Het pretpark====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The amusement park&quot;)''<br /> The day after Alfred's birth his [[Alfred's brothers and sisters|brothers and sisters]] hatched. Henk recalls the origin of all the names of his siblings; usually named after other family members or friends. Henk also tells about a moment in which Alfred was almost killed by a [[wikipedia:Steamroller|steamroller]] after wandering off. Alfred compares it to Anna's brother [[Jan van de Polder]] who was struck by a car before Anna and Johan had met; a story Henk had told a little earlier. <br /> <br /> Then the ground starts shaking and Henk and the family are lifted by an enormous [[wikipedia:Bulldozer|bulldozer]]. [[Beton Maatschappij|Construction company Bart Bever Beton B.V.]] was constructing a huge amusement park as funded by [[Kaspar Rokodil]]&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;This is inconsistent with the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]]; in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|original episode]] this role belongs to [[Alfons Rokodil]]. This is apparent from a different character design with a different name in the [[Character- and Color-Designs for Alfred J. Kwak]] design book and the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#Production|outlines]] written by [[Herman van Veen]] for the first episode.&lt;/ref&gt; and organized by [[Olaf Nijlpaard]]. Henk and Johan do their best to convince the entrepeneurs to cease destroying the [[Plaspoelpolder]], but to no avail. Anna also wants to leave as soon as possible, but remains quiet, being overwhelmed.<br /> <br /> ===Continuity===<br /> :''This book retells the story of [[Alfred J.

the book, instead of the co-writer.<br /> <br /> ===Book contents===<br /> The book opens with a foreword from [[Herman van Veen]].<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> {|<br /> |'''Original Dutch'''<br /> ''Toen ik [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] voor het eerst zag,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''woonden wij nog in dat oude huis op de dijk,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''vlakbij het veen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred zat op een stronk, onder de olie.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Kon geen vin meer verzetten.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ik heb hem toen in de teil op het aanrecht''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''zo goed als het ging gewassen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Maar het spul was er bijna niet uit te krijgen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''De hardnekkige smurrie plakte alles aan elkaar''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ben er tamelijk lang mee bezig geweest''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en toen alle olie verwijderd was,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''kreeg hij een forse verkoudheid,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''gepaard met een naar kuchje.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Het was vlak voor de Kerst, dus ik zei:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''`Je kunt de Kerstdagen wel hier blijven.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Er is niemand, ik ben alleen en het lijkt me wel gezellig.'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Maar daar snapte hij natuurlijk niks van.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hij kon immers niet praten en ik kon niet kwaken.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Kwam toen op het idee om [[Professor Paljas von Pinguïn|Professor Paljas van Pinguïn]] te bellen, een oude''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''vriend die veel verstand van talen heeft.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hij stuurde mij per ommegaande dat boekje:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''`Kwak op reis een eenvoudige cursus Kwaken voor beginners`.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Nou met de hulp van Alfred kon ik op de tweede Kerstdag''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''het eerste couplet van Jinglebells al in het Kwaks zingen,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''met Oud en Niwu al redelijk keuvelen''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en tegen mijn verjaardag duidelijk schrijven, vandaar...''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred had mij heel wat te vertellen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Zó veel dat ik het nauwelijks kon bijbenen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Heb toen [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] gebeld, waarvan Professor Paljas wist''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dat zij één van de weinige mensen op deze wereld is''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die Kwaks verstaat en kan spreken.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''En ik moet eerlijk zeggen: ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''zonder haar zou dit relaas''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''nu niet zo gebonden en opengeslagen voor jullie liggen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Veel plezier bij het lezen en, o ja,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''de hartelijke groeten van Alfred en Herman van Veen.''<br /> |'''Translation'''<br /> ''When I first saw [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]],''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''we were still living in that old house on the dike,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''close to the peat bog.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred was sitting on a stump, covered in oil.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''He could no longer move a fin.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''So I washed him in the tub on the kitchen counter,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''as best I could.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''But the stuff was almost impossible to get out.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''The stubborn grime stuck everything together''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I spent quite a long time working on it''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and when all the oil had been removed,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''he came down with a bad cold,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''accompanied by an unpleasant little cough.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''It was just before Christmas, so I said:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''`You might as well stay here for Christmas.''&lt;br&gt; <br /> ''There’s no one here, I’m alone, and it seems like it would be cozy`.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''But of course he understood none of that.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''After all, he couldn’t talk and I couldn’t quack.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Then I got the idea to call [[Professor Paljas von Pinguïn|Professor Paljas van Pinguïn]], an old''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''friend who knows a great deal about languages.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''He promptly sent me that little book:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Quack on the Road, a Simple Quacking Course for Beginners.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Well, with Alfred’s help, by the second day of Christmas''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I could already sing the first verse of Jingle Bells in Quack,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''chat reasonably well by New Year''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and write clearly by my birthday, hence...''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred had quite a lot to tell me.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''So much that I could hardly keep up.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Then I called [[Hanneke Holzhaus]], of whom Professor Paljas knew''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''that she is one of the few people in this world''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''who understands and can speak Quack.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''And I must honestly say: ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''without her this account''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''would not now be lying here before you, bound and open.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Enjoy reading it, and oh yes,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''warm regards from Alfred and Herman van Veen.''<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> There is also a short epigraph by [[Hanneke Holzhaus]].<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> {|<br /> |'''Original Dutch'''<br /> ''`Elk mens is een soort dier.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''In ieder dier zit een soort mens.`''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hanneke Holzhaus''<br /> |'''Translation'''<br /> ''`Every human is a sort of animal.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''In every animal there's a sort of human.`''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hanneke Holzhaus''<br /> <br /> |}<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The book retells several episodes ([[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|episode 1]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 2|2]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 4|4]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 5|5]]) of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] in a dream and through a story by [[Henk de Mol]]. It then tells an alternate version of the story from [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|episode 12]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 13|episode 13]], this time set in summer rather than in winter. All retellings have slight deviations, never completely lining up with the original episodes.<br /> <br /> The book also takes many story elements from the 1989 book [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen]], including the names of [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]] and [[Amanda de Vlinder]], but slightly deviating from it as well, giving [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes]] the surname &quot;Ganzenbord&quot; instead of &quot;Snater&quot;, which was established by Goedemorgen. <br /> <br /> Most of the book is written from [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]'s point of view, except for chapters &quot;De troubadour&quot;, &quot;Schoensmeer&quot;, &quot;Met pensioen&quot; and &quot;De Kraaienpartij&quot;, in which [[Meester Bas Buldog]] is also the point of view character. Strangely in the first two of those chapters it's Alfred's dream we're following. It is then, perhaps, possible that the latter two of those mentioned chapters might also be part of Alfred's dream. The book title translates to &quot;Alfred Jodocus Kwak's dream&quot;, and many plot points seem to follow a dream-logic, so this seems plausible. The book does not provide answers to this, likely on purpose. <br /> <br /> The book is full of songs, some of which are alterations of songs from the animated series. A full list can be read [[Songs from De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|here]].<br /> <br /> The final page of the book shows a list of [[Herman van Veen]] written stories about [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], including the first 15 volumes of [[De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak]], with specifically [[De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak: De lieve sneeuwman]] out of order, as well as [[Annet Kossen]]'s Alfred Jodocus Kwak book and the [[Wat Wijzer]] series up to [[Wat Wijzer met Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Propvol]] and including the next book called '''[[Wat Wijzer#Winnie|Winnie]]'''. Following that a short list of music books; [[Muziekboek spetter pieter pater]] and [[De Kwak-liedjes]]. Finally a short list of comics by [[Harald Siepermann]] and [[Hans Bacher]]; [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], [[Vissen in troebel water]] and [[Professor Paljas]].<br /> <br /> ===Themes===<br /> Moreso than most books written to recount the episodes from the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]], [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] and [[Herman van Veen]] chose to weave a story between established stories and provide more of a cohesive and thematic whole between them. The theme of death pops up quite often, as this is the story in which the most named characters are mentioned having died; [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]], [[Anna van de Polder]], [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]]&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P151&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 151''&lt;/ref&gt;, [[Jan van de Polder Junior|Jan van de Polder]] (Anna's brother)&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P103&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 103''&lt;/ref&gt;, [[Miriam Merel]] (Dolf's mother)&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P120&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 120''&lt;/ref&gt; and [[Amanda de Vlinder]]&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P155&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 155''&lt;/ref&gt;. All of them Alfred needs to confront. First off, especially, the death of his family and finding out what happened to them is a driving force from the start of the book. Then when Alfred is finally told by Henk what has happened, it takes finding Amanda on Henk's porch for him to truly start processing his feelings. <br /> <br /> Another element of the story is family and found family. How family can both give you love and give you hate and how that forms children. [[Dolf de Kraai]] is made sympathetic by having a father that hates his existence and a mother that is not strong enough to cope. He outright rejects the compassion that Alfred gives him, and instead pivots to power, and when that doesn't work to groveling at those in power. Because [[Schor de Kraai]] needed to be better than his son, so does Dolf need to be better than anyone else. Because Schor never gave him love and the one person that did, his mother, died, he doesn't expect or want love to survive. But in the end we have a comparison between Alfred, surrounded by friends and a loving surrogate father going through pain, but surviving, and Dolf who is still friends with [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater]] as if nothing has really changed since their days at school. Still isolated, still not accepting love or compassion. And for Dolf it's even worse as he starts robbing stately mansions. <br /> <br /> Dreaming is another theme that pops up regularly, also of course relating to the title of the book. The book plays with the impossibility of dreams having an effect on the real world. Is Alfred dreaming about the [[White chess queen]] or not? The same can be said for whether or not Alfred's dream influenced minstrel [[Kukeleku]]'s work. Or is everything we read from [[Meester Bas Buldog]]'s perspective — the only perspective in which we read more of Kukeleku's work — part of Alfred's dream? This might've been foreshadowed by Amanda de Vlinder's song suddenly being attributed to minstrel Kukeleku. Does that mean all scenes with him are actually part of Alfred's dream as influenced by his reality? It is left ambiguous; an impossible puzzle that doesn't have a solution.<br /> <br /> ==Changes from the original==<br /> : ''This book bases its story on several episodes of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]], specifically episodes [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|1]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 2|2]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 4|5]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|12]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 13|13]]. The book takes some liberties however. While some of these descrepancies could be attributed to [[Henk de Mol]] telling [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] about previous events, or Alfred's dreams contain differences to the actual events, most of these changes cannot be reconciled with the animated series' continuity.''<br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|Episode 1]]===<br /> * A very clear distinction is made in the book that the events in this episode are in fact set in [[Breed Rietland]]'s [[Plaspoelpolder]], which is a distinction that the animated series doesn't necessarily make as clear, even though it is mentioned in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#scripts|episode 1 outlines]]. <br /> * Just like in [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen]], [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] uses his clog as a boat. <br /> * [[Rap de Kiekendief]] and [[Snel de Snoek]] do not appear in the book. Instead when Johan is confronted by [[Schor de Kraai]] and Schor picks up [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]'s egg, Johan quickly snatches it away and gives it to [[Henk de Mol]]. Alfred then hatches in front of Henk. <br /> * [[Kaspar Rokodil]]'s name is used in every instance in the story about [[Groot Speelgoedland]] in the book, when that should in fact be [[Alfons Rokodil]].<br /> * In the book [[Miriam Merel]] is a lot more the victim of Schor's abuse, rather than joining him in his abuse of Johan. [[Anna van de Polder|Anna]] and their eggs.<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 2|Episode 2]]===<br /> * <br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 4|Episode 4]]===<br /> * A point is made about potatoes not being sold in the [[Polderstad#Middle ages|middle ages]] in the book, that seems to be a reaction to the episode in which it is listed as one of the products sold on the market square in [[Polderstad]] during the [[wikipedia:13th century|13th century]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Potato&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 37''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Meester Bas Buldog]] tells the class in the book that people were burnt for being different, specifically women. Their ash would be spread in [[The well|the well]], and their spirits might haunt the area.&lt;ref name=&quot;Well1&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 45-47''&lt;/ref&gt; The animated series depicts a more child-friendly story in which people that were different were banished from the city, congregated at the well, and possibly died there.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep4&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|4}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * For this and the following episode the inclusion of [[Krabnagel de Kater]] is completely omitted for the book, possibly because at the end of the book Krabnagel is given a slightly more sympathetic depiction. <br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 5|Episode 5]]===<br /> * [[Henk de Mol]] finds Alfred and [[Dolf de Kraai]] in the well and doesn't have to fend off Krabnagel de Kater, like he needs to do in the episode. Therefore there is also no moment depicted in the book where Henk ends up on a pond with thin ice. <br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|Episode 12]]===<br /> * This episode and the following was set during winter, but the book is set during the summer holiday after Alfred J. Kwak graduates from [[wikipedia:Middle school|middle school]].<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 13|Episode 13]]===<br /> *<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> &lt;references group=&quot;note&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Book]]<br /> [[Category:Dutch Book]]</div>

<p>Dougurasu: /* Nijlrok Hap-in-slik door */</p> <hr /> <div>Throughout the series and specifically in the book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], the character of [[Kaspar Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]] have set up many projects together. In the book they specifically merge their names to form different chains of restaurants or other services. The book unfortunately confuses [[Kaspar Rokodil]] with his father [[Alfons Rokodil]], meaning that sometimes this article is referring to the book instead of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]].<br /> <br /> ==Companies from the books==<br /> ===De Olkas Huisvloer Hallen===<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The Olkas Housfloor Halls&quot;)<br /> The name &quot;Olka&quot; was formed by combining the first parts of their given names. De Olkas Huisvloer Hallen was a chain of stores, one of which was located in [[Polderstad#Polderstad-Centrum|Polderstad-Centrum]], behind the [[Stompe Toren]]. An old monastery from the [[Polderstad#Middle Ages|Middle Ages]] was demolished to make way for the store. Similar developments occurred in the historic districts and town centres of other settlements across [[Groot Waterland]], where older buildings were demolished to make way for similar retail establishments. This caused many animals to have to flee to sub-urbs.&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO107&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 107''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Nijlrok Hap-in-slik door===<br /> : ''(lit. &quot;Nijlrok Eat-up-and-swallow&quot;)''<br /> The name &quot;Nijlrok&quot; was formed by combining the first parts of their family names.

<p>Dougurasu: /* Thuisland */</p> <hr /> <div>==Fictional locations==<br /> This section is concerned with all the locations from the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] and the [[Books|books]]. Below is a list of parts of the fictional world, mostly as it relates to the real world, which the story is based on. Not all parts of the world have a named equivalent within the story. Because of that, real-world geographical terms are used where necessary to describe regions without an established in-universe name. <br /> <br /> :†: ''[[Books|Book]]-only locations''<br /> <br /> ===Europe===<br /> This continent is never given a name in the series, but it contains all the countries based on real-life [[wikipedia:Europe|European]] countries. <br /> ====Groot Waterland====<br /> :::''(lit. &quot;Great Waterland&quot;)''<br /> :::''For more information, check the [[Groot Waterland|main article]]''<br /> ::This country is based on [[wikipedia:The Netherlands|the Netherlands]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep50A&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|50}} ''A brief shot of where the [[De Vliegende Molen|Flying Mill]] is going to land clearly shows [[wikipedia:The Netherlands|the Netherlands]].''&lt;/ref&gt; This country is home to most of the protagonists of the animated series. It contains [[Polderstad]], the [[King's castle]] and [[Waterslag]] among other places.<br /> <br /> ====Breed Rietland====<br /> :::''(lit. &quot;Wide Reedland&quot;)''<br /> :::''For more information, check the [[Breed Rietland|main article]]''<br /> ::This country is likely based on [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]]. This assumption is based on the geographical location in the series and [[Herman van Veen]]'s connection to Germany. Breed Rietland is the country [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] and [[Dolf de Kraai]] were born in.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep1&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|1}} ''As stated in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#Production|episode outlines for this episode]].''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Pages 86 and 87.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Morena====<br /> :::''For more information, check the [[Morena|main article]]''<br /> ::This location is likely based on [[wikipedia:Monaco|Monaco]]. The city depicted in [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 50|episode 50]] is likely called [[Monte Carla (city)]], which is named in the [[Monte Carla (song)|song with the same name]]. Monte Carla is a city on the shores of the [[#Middelandse Plas|Middelandse Plas]]. The language they speak here is Frands&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;'Frands' is an intentional mispronunciation of the Dutch word 'Frans', which in this case refers to the French language.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep50a&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|50}}&lt;/ref&gt;REFERENCE THE SONG AS WELL.<br /> <br /> ====Alfred's holiday country====<br /> :::''For more information, check the [[Alfred's holiday country|main article]]''<br /> ::At the start of [[Alfred J.

Hoog Bergland is mentioned as the country in which [[Kaspar Rokodil]] and [[Olaf Nijlpaard]] tried to setup a [[Kaspar Rokodil and Olaf Nijlpaard's companies|TV channel]], but to no avail.

Below is a list of parts of the fictional world, mostly as it relates to the real world, which the story is based on. Not all parts of the world have a named equivalent within the story.

Kwak|animated show]]. He has a [[Anton Snorman's mansion|mansion]], from which [[Dolf de Kraai]] robs jewelery&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|12}}&lt;/ref&gt;. He gets his name and more character backstory in the Dutch book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]. He's also referred to as ''Snorremans'' (lit. &quot;Moustache guy&quot;)&lt;ref name=&quot;DWA10&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DWA10}} ''Page 16''&lt;/ref&gt;, or ''de heer des huizes'' (lit. &quot;the master of the house&quot;)&lt;ref name=&quot;HGVB&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|HGVB}} ''Page 101''&lt;/ref&gt;. <br /> <br /> ==Appearance==<br /> He looks like an orange cat with a big dark brown moustache and a dark brown beard goatee. His nose is large and pink and he has a furry striped tail. In his one appearance in the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] he wears a thick purple night gown or bath robe with a sleeping cap, as well as a yellow scarf with brown spots, likely something he put on because he was going outside to check on the noise.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Personality==<br /> Anton Snorman is a cat born in nobility, who looks down on the normal working man, and even more on animals that live on the street, like [[Krabnagel de Kater]]. Especially the way they speak makes them repulsive to Snorman. Snorman's financial situation is bothersome to him as he lives in large [[Anton Snorman's mansion]] with a large number of antiques, that require many hours and a lot of money to maintain. This requires Snorman to drop his education and focus on making money, which puts him in contact with animals like Krabnagel, even though he would prefer to work with real actors. He also dismisses his guest, [[Meester Bas Buldog]], quite quickly in favor of his fiancée arriving. <br /> <br /> He can play the piano and would've preferred to be an actor himself.&lt;ref name=&quot;p164a&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 164-167''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Storyline==<br /> After failing his entrance exam for theater school, Anton Snorman got his [[wikipedia:Doctorandus|doctorandus]] degree studying [[wikipedia:Dramaturgy|dramaturgy]] in [[Waterslag aan Zee]] with a minor in [[wikipedia:Literary theory|literature]]. His interest in literature is what interested [[Meester Bas Buldog]], the primary school teacher from [[Polderstad]], to visit Anton in his [[Anton Snorman's mansion]] in [[Polderstad-West]], after previously having met him on the [[Polderstad#Vorige Burgemeesterplantsoen|Vorige Burgemeesterplantsoen]].&lt;ref name=&quot;p159&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 159''&lt;/ref&gt; Anton and Bas bonded over their mutual interest into minstrel [[Kukeleku]] who Bas had just discovered, but he had intimate knowledge of.&lt;ref name=&quot;p165&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 165''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> His mansion is filled with antiques that require a lot of maintenance, causing Anton to need to fire his mansion staff and needing to find a free-lance job in directing [[wikipedia:Voice-over|voice-overs]] for an advertising agency. One of the people from the street that he uses the voice of for [[Kaspar Rokodil and Olaf Nijlpaard's companies|Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door]] is [[Krabnagel de Kater|Krabnagel]]. Usually Krabnagel comes scrounging for food and it takes a whole day to get the proper lines out of him.&lt;ref name=&quot;p164&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 164 &amp; 165''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Anton Snorman's fiancée===<br /> Anton also has a [[Anton Snorman's fiancée|girlfriend]], a (according to him) beautiful [[:Category:Angora Cat Character|Angora cat]] with whom he has a [[wikipedia:Long-distance relationship|long-distance relationship]]. She sings in a commercial catchoir. One of their weekly meetings was reason to prematurely kick out Bas Buldog out of his house. In the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|episode]], only her voice is heard, coming from inside the mansion.&lt;ref name=&quot;p167&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 167''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;p218&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''On page 218 [[Krabnagel de Kater]] reveals that it's not just a girlfriend, but Anton Snorman's fiancée.''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|12}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Burglary===<br /> As [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] [[Flying in Alfred J. Kwak|flies]] over [[Polderstad]] using the magic of the [[The white chess queen|white chess queen]] he spots [[Dolf de Kraai]] breaking into Anton Snorman's mansion. The two take a closer look, but find Krabnagel who has it out for Alfred. The white chess queen fools Krabnagel in trying to eat her, but changes back to her chess piece form and makes Krabnagel break his teeth missing biting her. All this commotion wakes Anton and - likely - his visiting girlfriend up and he walks outside to see what is happening. Dolf then runs past him carrying some stolen antiques. Dolf is spotted by Alfred, but this causes Anton to confuse Alfred as a possible partner in crime to Dolf and Alfred flees away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In the alternate retelling from [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], this story takes place in the summer holiday, rather than in the winter. In this retelling Krabnagel is only visiting, because of the voice-over job and the need to get some food at Anton Snorman's mansion. Also, someone, presumably Dolf de Kraai, gets arrested by [[Holmes de Hond]]. The white chess queen assures Alfred that this could all be a dream.&lt;ref name=&quot;p214&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 214-218''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Voice actors==<br /> {| style=&quot;width: 70%;&quot; text-align:right;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Japanese<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | Dutch<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | Anton Snorman&lt;ref name=&quot;p158&quot; /&gt;, Snorremans&lt;ref name=&quot;DWA10&quot; /&gt;, de heer des huizes&lt;ref name=&quot;HGVB&quot; /&gt;<br /> |-<br /> | German<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | English<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | Finnish<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | Hungarian<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J.

During this period the church that would ultimately include [[Ollie de Ooievaar's house]] had started construction.<br /> <br /> Back then the market square was a place of social gathering; women, priests and soldiers coming back from far battlefields, minstrels singing songs about heroic deeds and merchants selling potatoes&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;The book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] specifically addresses potatoes not being available to be sold in [[Groot Waterland]] during the [[wikipedia:13th century|13th century]] as potatoes hadn't come overseas from ''Het Verre Westen'' (lit. &quot;The Far East&quot;). In the real world the [[wikipedia:History_of_the_potato|potato]] was brought to [[wikipedia:Europe|Europe]] in [[wikipedia:16th century|16th century]].&lt;/ref&gt;, spices, fruit, eggs, carrots, cabbage, wool, yarn and the like.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep4&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|NL|4}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;MiddleAges&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 36-38''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> During this time it was frowned upon to behave slightly differently than the norm. These animals would be pelted with stones and rotten fruit. Judges would even decide to banish those people or sentence them to death. Especially women weren't allowed to break from social norms, lest they be called a witch and burnt at the stake. The burnt remains of these witches would be deposited into the well nearby the city. Animals banished from Polderstad would also congregate there to be able to drink something outside of the city.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep4&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Well1&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 45-47''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Inhabitants==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=100 heights=100&gt;<br /> File:Alfred Jodocus Kwak.jpg|link=Alfred Jodocus Kwak|[[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] (moved here)<br /> File:No Picture for Character.jpg|link=Amanda de Vlinder|[[Amanda de Vlinder]] (books only character)<br /> File:Anton Snorman.jpg|link=Anton Snorman|[[Anton Snorman]]<br /> File:Meester Bas Buldog.jpg|link=Meester Bas Buldog|[[Meester Bas Buldog]]<br /> File:Dolf de Kraai.jpg|link=Dolf de Kraai|[[Dolf de Kraai]] (moved here)<br /> File:Henk de Mol.jpg|link=Henk de Mol|[[Henk de Mol]] (moved here)<br /> File:Miriam Merel.jpg|link=Miriam Merel|[[Miriam Merel]] (moved here)<br /> File:Ollie de Ooievaar.jpg|link=Ollie de Ooievaar|[[Ollie de Ooievaar]]<br /> File:Pikkie de Ekster.jpg|link=Pikkie de Ekster|[[Pikkie de Ekster]]<br /> File:Schor de Kraai.jpg|link=Schor de Kraai|[[Schor de Kraai]] (moved here)<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J.

This requires Snorman to drop his education and focus on making money, which puts him in contact with animals like Krabnagel, even though he would prefer to work with real actors.

The two take a closer look, but find Krabnagel who has it out for Alfred. The white chess queen fools Krabnagel in trying to eat her, but changes back to her chess piece form and makes Krabnagel break his teeth missing biting her. All this commotion wakes Anton and - likely - his visiting girlfriend up and he walks outside to see what is happening. Dolf then runs past him carrying some stolen antiques. Dolf is spotted by Alfred, but this causes Anton to confuse Alfred as a possible partner in crime to Dolf and Alfred flees away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In the alternate retelling from [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], this story takes place in the summer holiday, rather than in the winter. In this retelling Krabnagel is only visiting, because of the voice-over job and the need to get some food at Anton Snorman's mansion. Also, someone, presumably Dolf de Kraai, gets arrested by [[Holmes de Hond]].

Kwak|animated show]]. He has a [[Anton Snorman's mansion|mansion]], from which [[Dolf de Kraai]] robs jewelery&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|12}}&lt;/ref&gt;. He gets his name and more character backstory in the Dutch book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]. He's also referred to as ''Snorremans'' (lit. &quot;Moustache guy&quot;)&lt;ref name=&quot;DWA10&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DWA10}} ''Page 16''&lt;/ref&gt;, or ''de heer des huizes'' (lit. &quot;the master of the house&quot;)&lt;ref name=&quot;HGVB&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|HGVB}} ''Page 101''&lt;/ref&gt;. <br /> <br /> ==Appearance==<br /> He looks like an orange cat with a big dark brown moustache and a dark brown beard goatee. His nose is large and pink and he has a furry striped tail. In his one appearance in the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] he wears a thick purple night gown or bath robe with a sleeping cap, as well as a yellow scarf with brown spots, likely something he put on because he was going outside to check on the noise.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Personality==<br /> Anton Snorman is a cat born in nobility, who looks down on the normal working man, and even more on animals that live on the street, like [[Krabnagel de Kater]]. Especially the way they speak makes them repulsive to Snorman. Snorman's financial situation is bothersome to him as he lives in large [[Anton Snorman's mansion]] with a large number of antiques, that require many hours and a lot of money to maintain. This requires Snorman to drop his education and focus on making money, which puts him in contact with animals like Krabnagel, even though he would prefer to work with real actors. He also dismisses his guest, [[Meester Bas Buldog]], quite quickly in favor of his fiancée arriving. <br /> <br /> He can play the piano and would've preferred to be an actor himself.&lt;ref name=&quot;p164a&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 164-167''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Storyline==<br /> After failing his entrance exam for theater school, Anton Snorman got his [[wikipedia:Doctorandus|doctorandus]] degree studying [[wikipedia:Dramaturgy|dramaturgy]] in [[Waterslag aan Zee]] with a minor in [[wikipedia:Literary theory|literature]]. His interest in literature is what interested [[Meester Bas Buldog]], the primary school teacher from [[Polderstad]], to visit Anton in his [[Anton Snorman's mansion]] in [[Polderstad-West]], after previously having met him on the [[Polderstad#Vorige Burgemeesterplantsoen|Vorige Burgemeesterplantsoen]].&lt;ref name=&quot;p159&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 159''&lt;/ref&gt; Anton and Bas bonded over their mutual interest into minstrel [[Kukeleku]] who Bas had just discovered, but he had intimate knowledge of.&lt;ref name=&quot;p165&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 165''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> His mansion is filled with antiques that require a lot of maintenance, causing Anton to need to fire his mansion staff and needing to find a free-lance job in directing [[wikipedia:Voice-over|voice-overs]] for an advertising agency. One of the people from the street that he uses the voice of for [[Kaspar Rokodil and Olaf Nijlpaard's companies|Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door]] is [[Krabnagel de Kater|Krabnagel]]. Usually Krabnagel comes scrounging for food and it takes a whole day to get the proper lines out of him.&lt;ref name=&quot;p164&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 164 &amp; 165''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Anton Snorman's fiancée===<br /> Anton also has a '''girlfriend''', a (according to him) beautiful [[wikipedia:Turkish Angora|Angora cat]] with whom he has a [[wikipedia:Long-distance relationship|long-distance relationship]]. She sings in a commercial catchoir. One of their weekly meetings was reason to prematurely kick out Bas Buldog out of his house. In the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|episode]], only her voice is heard, coming from inside the mansion.&lt;ref name=&quot;p167&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 167''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;p218&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''On page 218 [[Krabnagel de Kater]] reveals that it's not just a girlfriend, but Anton Snorman's fiancée.''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Burglary===<br /> As [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] [[Flying in Alfred J. Kwak|flies]] over [[Polderstad]] using the magic of the [[The white chess queen|white chess queen]] he spots [[Dolf de Kraai]] breaking into Anton Snorman's mansion. The two take a closer look, but find Krabnagel who has it out for Alfred. The white chess queen fools Krabnagel in trying to eat her, but changes back to her chess piece form and makes Krabnagel break his teeth missing biting her. All this commotion wakes Anton and - likely - his visiting girlfriend up and he walks outside to see what is happening. Dolf then runs past him carrying some stolen antiques. Dolf is spotted by Alfred, but this causes Anton to confuse Alfred as a possible partner in crime to Dolf and Alfred flees away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep12&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In the alternate retelling from [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], this story takes place in the summer holiday, rather than in the winter. In this retelling Krabnagel is only visiting, because of the voice-over job and the need to get some food at Anton Snorman's mansion. Also, someone, presumably Dolf de Kraai, gets arrested by [[Holmes de Hond]]. The white chess queen assures Alfred that this could all be a dream.&lt;ref name=&quot;p214&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 214-218''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Voice actors==<br /> {| style=&quot;width: 70%;&quot; text-align:right;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Japanese<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | Dutch<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | Anton Snorman&lt;ref name=&quot;p158&quot; /&gt;, Snorremans&lt;ref name=&quot;DWA10&quot; /&gt;, de heer des huizes&lt;ref name=&quot;HGVB&quot; /&gt;<br /> |-<br /> | German<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | English<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | Finnish<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |-<br /> | Hungarian<br /> | ¦<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight:bold; |???<br /> | ¦<br /> | No name given<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J.

''''Alfred Jodocus Kwak's Dream'''') is a book written by [[Herman van Veen]] and [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] about [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] coming to grasp with what happened to his parents, [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] and [[Anna van de Polder]], and death in general. It could be considered a [[wikipedia:Coming of age|coming of age]] story.<br /> <br /> The book tells the story of [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 1|episodes 1]], [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 2|2]], [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 4|4]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 5|5]] through flashback and retellings through [[Henk de Mol]] and the story of [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 12|episode 12]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 13|13]] as it's happening in the present of the narrative. <br /> <br /> Several characters unnamed in the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] get named for the first time in this story. <br /> <br /> ==Story==<br /> <br /> ===Summary===<br /> [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] has finished his [[wikipedia:Secondary education|middle school]] exams and despite it being the [[wikipedia:Summer vacation|summer vacation]] he's feeling depressed, wanting to know where he comes from. Usually he visits his adoptive father, [[Henk de Mol]], for a game of [[Chess|chess]], however instead he wants to have a ''Goed Gesprek'' (lit. &quot;Good Talk&quot;) with him. Having a goal makes him enthusiastic about life again, until he runs into [[Dolf de Kraai]], which immediately sours his mood. Trudging along the [[Polderstad#Polderweg|Polderweg]] the aging [[:Category:Butterfly Character|butterfly]] [[Amanda de Vlinder]] finds him and sits on his shoulder. She explains her outlook on life that you shouldn't worry about things. While Alfred doesn't agree with her, he does find some solace and starts dreaming about his time in [[wikipedia:Primary education|primary school]].<br /> <br /> It was winter and Henk sends Alfred to school with an outfit similar to his and a [[Alfred's scarf|red scarf]]. On his way Alfred's bullied by Dolf and [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes Ganzenbord]]. At [[Polderstad#School|school]] [[Meester Bas Buldog]] tells them about [[Polderstad]] in the [[Polderstad#Middle ages|middle ages]] and Alfred has a dream within a dream. He dreams about the middle ages and meeting a troubadour named [[Kukeleku]]. After he awakes in class Meester Bas tells the children about a [[The well|well]] near the city and how the ashes of people ostracized from the city would be spread there. <br /> <br /> Alfred and Dolf get into a fight after school and Alfred accidentally wipes some shoe polish off of Dolf's beak, revealing it is actually yellow. Dolf runs away, but Alfred finds him again near the well. Dolf is startled and plummets into the well and after Alfred tries to save him, he too drops down. They sit there and Dolf confesses that [[Miriam Merel|his mother]] was a [[:Category:Thrush Character|thrush]] and not a [[:Category:Crow Character|crow]], giving him a yellow beak. Alfred promises to keep it a secret. They are saved by Henk after they think he might be one of the spirits of the people who's ashes were dropped into the well. <br /> <br /> Alfred is awoken from his dream and is back on the [[Polderstad#Polderweg|Polderweg]]. It was Henk that found him sleeping. Both of them go to [[Henk's mine house]] and Alfred starts his ''Goed Gesprek''. Henk is reluctant, but eventually he starts explaining how he was born in [[Breed Rietland]] and his parents were [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]], a good friend of Henk's, and [[Anna van de Polder]]. Alfred is taken aback as he was sure he was born in [[Groot Waterland]] like Dolf, but Henk also reveals that Dolf was born to [[Miriam Merel]] and [[Schor de Kraai]] in Breed Rietland as well. Dolf explains how Schor and Johan were always in fights and how Schor neglected and abused his wife and only son. According to Henk he was even responsible for Miriam's death. <br /> <br /> Henk tells the story of Alfred's parents, how they met and how they would eventually marry. They had seven children, among which was Alfred, but their happiness wasn't longlasting. [[Beton Maatschappij|Construction company Bart Bever Beton B.V.]] starts construction a huge amusement park as funded by [[Kaspar Rokodil]]&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;This is inconsistent with the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]]; in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|original episode]] this role belongs to [[Alfons Rokodil]]. This is apparent from a different character design with a different name in the [[Character- and Color-Designs for Alfred J. Kwak]] design book and the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#Production|outlines]] written by [[Herman van Veen]] for the first episode.&lt;/ref&gt; and organized by [[Olaf Nijlpaard]], causing the whole [[Plaspoelpolder]] population to need to emigrate. Johan and Henk try to argue with Rokodil and Nijlpaard, but to no avail. <br /> <br /> ===Chapter by chapter summaries===<br /> ====De grote vakantie====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The summer holiday&quot;)''<br /> [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] has just finished his exams and passed with flying colors and can now enjoy his summer break. However he can't enjoy it as he's feeling depressed. He promised [[Henk de Mol]], his adoptive father, to play their weekly [[Chess|chess]] game, but has no motivation to play. Instead he does have motivation to talk to Henk in a ''Goed Gesprek'' (lit. &quot;Good Talk&quot;), specifically because he has realized that he doesn't remember his parents anymore. He's always accepted Henk to be his father, but as a mole that doesn't make sense. <br /> <br /> Having a goal makes him enthusiastic about life again and he's more easily able to reflect on his somber morning. He walks past [[Inspecteur Holmes de Hond|inspecteur Holmes de Hond]] and the [[Drieling Mus|sparrow triplets]] feeling good about himself again. That is until he runs into [[Dolf de Kraai]]. Internally he bigs himself up not to fall prey to Dolf's taunts, but as Dolf keeps ironically congratulating him on acing his exams, Alfred's mood flips once more. Dolf also brings up Henk as his father and proclaims that he will go into politics instead of studying.<br /> <br /> ====Amanda====<br /> Alfred is depressed once more and trudges along the [[Polderstad#Polderweg|Polderweg]] until [[Amanda de Vlinder]], the aging butterfly, flies down and lands on his shoulder. She shares with him her unique outlook on life, how nothing really matters and therefore it's easy to live carefree. At first Alfred follows along with her logic, but soon he finds herself annoyed with this line of thinking and instead asks her to tell Henk that he will be a little later. <br /> <br /> Alfred lays down in the meadows, feeling very tired, and takes a nap. He dreams about a day long ago when he was still a child and living at [[Henk's mine house]]. Because it's snowing Henk gives Alfred some jeans with suspenders that look just like the clothing Henk usually wears. When Henk hugs Alfred goodbye they hear the sound of Dolf teasing him. He's flanked by [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes Ganzenbord]] who repeat what Dolf says.<br /> <br /> Alfred wakes up shortly as Amanda tells him that she has relayed the message. As quickly as he woke up he falls asleep again and continues his dream about a young Dolf teasing him and his father. Lucky for him school is about to start.<br /> <br /> ====De troubadour====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The troubadour&quot;)'' <br /> [[Meester Bas Buldog]] awaits his students at the doorway to the [[Polderstad#School|school]]. He pets them all individually when they enter. As he thinks about retiring soon Alfred, and then a little later Dolf, Wannes and Hannes come in. Meester Bas starts teaching about the middle ages, telling the kids about a [[Polderstad]] from [[Polderstad#Middle ages|800 years ago]], about how the market place was a social meeting place. As Meester Bas talks about minstrels and troubadours Alfred slowly falls asleep in his dream and has another dream. He hears the minstrel [[Kukuleku]] sing a song and then Alfred asks him for his autograph. Kukeleku is flummoxed by the balpoint pen and Alfred's mention of a ''schoolplein''&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;''Schoolplein'' translates to &quot;School yard&quot;, but in a very literal sense it translates to &quot;School square&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; and wonders where this square is so he can capitalize on it. The minstrel signs Alfred's schoolbook, but as he does Alfred is awoken by Meester Bas who scolds him for falling asleep. In a corner Dolf is laughing on the inside as Alfred is lectured.<br /> <br /> ====Schoensmeer====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;Shoe polish&quot;)''<br /> Meester Bas continues his lesson about the middle ages and talks about how people frowned upon others behaving slightly differently than the norm. They would be ostracized, especially women who broke generally accepted social norms, and burnt at the stake. Their ashes would be taken to [[The well|the well]] on the [[Polderstad#Brede Buitenweg|Brede Buitenweg]] and thrown into it. After class Dolf starts teasing Alfred about how him having a mole father would be enough for him to be burnt at the stake. This makes Alfred livid and he almost strangles Dolf, but when he comes to his senses he sees that Dolf's beak has turned yellow and Alfred has black grime on his hands. Dolf is so embarrassed at Alfred finding out his beak is yellow and he runs off, shouting he's going to fly himself into the [[De Stompe Toren|Stompe toren]]. Alfred tries to follows, desperate to prevent him from killing himself.<br /> <br /> ====In de put====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;In the well&quot;)''<br /> Alfred finds Dolf near the well, using a brush to put [[Shoe polish|shoe polish]] on his beak. Alfred appraoches him, but in doing so startles Dolf and he falls down the well, breaking his wing. Alfred bravely tries to get him out of there by climbing down the rope that was originally attached to a bucket. However, the rope was too old and brittle to carry Alfred's weight and he plummets onto Dolf. Alfred makes a [[wikipedia:Sling (medical)|sling]] for Dolf's wing. Alfred says their parents will come and look for them, but Dolf isn't so sure. <br /> <br /> ====De geest die geen rust kan vinden====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The spirit that can't find peace&quot;)''<br /> Dolf confesses to Alfred that [[Miriam Merel|his mother]] was a [[:Category:Thrush Character|thrush]] and not a [[:Category:Crow Character|crow]], giving him a yellow beak. Alfred tries to convince him that it's not a big deal, but Dolf doubles down and tells him that just like in the middle ages Alfred also needs to be scared of being burnt at the stake, just like the witches from Meester Bas' lecture. Then the two hear a scary echo-y voice calling Alfred.<br /> <br /> ====Een Goed Gesprek====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;A Good Talk&quot;)''<br /> Alfred is woken up by Henk who had looked for him. He's there to pick him up. Alfred tells him about his dream of him and Dolf being stuck down the well and Henk recalls how he found them and called out. And how Dolf and Alfred had mistaken his voice for a witch. Luckily it all worked out in the end. <br /> <br /> Having arrived at Henk's mine house Alfred declines the game of chess and instead demands Henk tell him where he came from. At first Henk is reluctant to start a conversation about that and tries to change the subject, but when Alfred insist he starts to tell about his old friend [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]]. <br /> <br /> Johan and he were floating in Johan's clog boat through the [[Plaspoelpolder]] in [[Breed Rietland]], when they heard the song of a female [[:Category:Duck Character|duck]]. Henk took it upon himself to introduce Johan to the source of the singing, namely [[Anna van de Polder]]. Falling completely in love Johan spent the rest of the day and part of the night working on a [[Nog Nooit|song]]. Just as he was about to find Anna again and sing his song, when he saw [[Henri Dropshot]] and [[Johnny Hollyday]] fighting over her. He took his chance and the interaction resulted in a relationship that bloomed. They were wed shortly after, Henk serving as Johan's [[wikipedia:Groomsman#Best_man|best man]] and Amanda de Vlinder as Anna's [[wikipedia:Bridesmaid|bridesmaid]]. <br /> <br /> Alfred asks him if he means Amanda who he had spoken to today, and Henk says that the Amanda from the wedding is current Amanda's great-great-great-great-grandmother. Henk continues to tell Alfred that Johan and Anna laid 7 eggs and suddenly Alfred realizes he's not from Groot Waterland, but from Breed Rietland. Alfred starts crying saying that Dolf ''is'' from [[Groot Waterland]] and he isn't, which prompts Henk to correct him; Dolf was ''also'' born in Breed Rietland. <br /> <br /> ====Geboren====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;Born&quot;)''<br /> Henk tells about Dolf's father [[Schor de Kraai]], whom Johan was regularly arguing with. According to Henk, Schor already almost didn't recognize Dolf as he was having memory problems, especially after the death of his wife [[Miriam Merel]]. Schor and Miriam also made an unannounced maternity visit at Johan and Anna's nest. Anna had taken a break, leaving Johan to defend the quality of the eggs against Schor, especially the one that Alfred would be born out of. Johan grabbed it and given it to Henk for safe keeping. At right that moment Alfred had hatched in front of Henk. Henk told the parents that the duckling reminded him of his own grandfather, [[Alfred de Mol]] and Johan and Anna decide to name their firstborn after him. [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]] hatched the next day.<br /> <br /> ====Het pretpark====<br /> :''(lit. &quot;The amusement park&quot;)''<br /> The day after Alfred's birth his [[Alfred's brothers and sisters|brothers and sisters]] hatched. Henk recalls the origin of all the names of his siblings; usually named after other family members or friends. Henk also tells about a moment in which Alfred was almost killed by a [[wikipedia:Steamroller|steamroller]] after wandering off. Alfred compares it to Anna's brother [[Jan van de Polder]] who was struck by a car before Anna and Johan had met; a story Henk had told a little earlier. <br /> <br /> Then the ground starts shaking and Henk and the family are lifted by an enormous [[wikipedia:Bulldozer|bulldozer]].

the 20th of July 1991, mentioned the release of this book, however it mistakes [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] as the illustrator of the book, instead of the co-writer.<br /> <br /> ===Book contents===<br /> The book opens with a foreword from [[Herman van Veen]].<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> {|<br /> |'''Original Dutch'''<br /> ''Toen ik [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]] voor het eerst zag,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''woonden wij nog in dat oude huis op de dijk,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''vlakbij het veen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred zat op een stronk, onder de olie.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Kon geen vin meer verzetten.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ik heb hem toen in de teil op het aanrecht''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''zo goed als het ging gewassen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Maar het spul was er bijna niet uit te krijgen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''De hardnekkige smurrie plakte alles aan elkaar''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Ben er tamelijk lang mee bezig geweest''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en toen alle olie verwijderd was,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''kreeg hij een forse verkoudheid,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''gepaard met een naar kuchje.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Het was vlak voor de Kerst, dus ik zei:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''`Je kunt de Kerstdagen wel hier blijven.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Er is niemand, ik ben alleen en het lijkt me wel gezellig.'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Maar daar snapte hij natuurlijk niks van.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hij kon immers niet praten en ik kon niet kwaken.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Kwam toen op het idee om [[Professor Paljas von Pinguïn|Professor Paljas van Pinguïn]] te bellen, een oude''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''vriend die veel verstand van talen heeft.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hij stuurde mij per ommegaande dat boekje:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''`Kwak op reis een eenvoudige cursus Kwaken voor beginners`.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Nou met de hulp van Alfred kon ik op de tweede Kerstdag''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''het eerste couplet van Jinglebells al in het Kwaks zingen,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''met Oud en Niwu al redelijk keuvelen''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''en tegen mijn verjaardag duidelijk schrijven, vandaar...''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred had mij heel wat te vertellen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Zó veel dat ik het nauwelijks kon bijbenen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Heb toen [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] gebeld, waarvan Professor Paljas wist''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''dat zij één van de weinige mensen op deze wereld is''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''die Kwaks verstaat en kan spreken.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''En ik moet eerlijk zeggen: ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''zonder haar zou dit relaas''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''nu niet zo gebonden en opengeslagen voor jullie liggen.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Veel plezier bij het lezen en, o ja,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''de hartelijke groeten van Alfred en Herman van Veen.''<br /> |'''Translation'''<br /> ''When I first saw [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak|Alfred]],''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''we were still living in that old house on the dike,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''close to the peat bog.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred was sitting on a stump, covered in oil.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''He could no longer move a fin.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''So I washed him in the tub on the kitchen counter,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''as best I could.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''But the stuff was almost impossible to get out.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''The stubborn grime stuck everything together''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I spent quite a long time working on it''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and when all the oil had been removed,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''he came down with a bad cold,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''accompanied by an unpleasant little cough.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''It was just before Christmas, so I said:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''`You might as well stay here for Christmas.''&lt;br&gt; <br /> ''There’s no one here, I’m alone, and it seems like it would be cozy`.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''But of course he understood none of that.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''After all, he couldn’t talk and I couldn’t quack.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Then I got the idea to call [[Professor Paljas von Pinguïn|Professor Paljas van Pinguïn]], an old''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''friend who knows a great deal about languages.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''He promptly sent me that little book:''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Quack on the Road, a Simple Quacking Course for Beginners.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Well, with Alfred’s help, by the second day of Christmas''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''I could already sing the first verse of Jingle Bells in Quack,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''chat reasonably well by New Year''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''and write clearly by my birthday, hence...''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Alfred had quite a lot to tell me.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''So much that I could hardly keep up.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Then I called [[Hanneke Holzhaus]], of whom Professor Paljas knew''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''that she is one of the few people in this world''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''who understands and can speak Quack.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''And I must honestly say: ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''without her this account''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''would not now be lying here before you, bound and open.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Enjoy reading it, and oh yes,''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''warm regards from Alfred and Herman van Veen.''<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> There is also a short epigraph by [[Hanneke Holzhaus]].<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> {|<br /> |'''Original Dutch'''<br /> ''`Elk mens is een soort dier.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''In ieder dier zit een soort mens.`''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hanneke Holzhaus''<br /> |'''Translation'''<br /> ''`Every human is a sort of animal.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''In every animal there's a sort of human.`''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Hanneke Holzhaus''<br /> <br /> |}<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The book retells several episodes ([[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|episode 1]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 2|2]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 4|4]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 5|5]]) of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] in a dream and through a story by [[Henk de Mol]]. It then tells an alternate version of the story from [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|episode 12]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 13|episode 13]], this time set in summer rather than in winter. All retellings have slight deviations, never completely lining up with the original episodes.<br /> <br /> The book also takes many story elements from the 1989 book [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen]], including the names of [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]] and [[Amanda de Vlinder]], but slightly deviating from it as well, giving [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes]] the surname &quot;Ganzenbord&quot; instead of &quot;Snater&quot;, which was established by Goedemorgen. <br /> <br /> Most of the book is written from [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]'s point of view, except for chapters &quot;De troubadour&quot;, &quot;Schoensmeer&quot;, &quot;Met pensioen&quot; and &quot;De Kraaienpartij&quot;, in which [[Meester Bas Buldog]] is also the point of view character. Strangely in the first two of those chapters it's Alfred's dream we're following. It is then, perhaps, possible that the latter two of those mentioned chapters might also be part of Alfred's dream. The book title translates to &quot;Alfred Jodocus Kwak's dream&quot;, and many plot points seem to follow a dream-logic, so this seems plausible. The book does not provide answers to this, likely on purpose. <br /> <br /> The book is full of songs, some of which are alterations of songs from the animated series. A full list can be read [[Songs from De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|here]].<br /> <br /> The final page of the book shows a list of [[Herman van Veen]] written stories about [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], including the first 15 volumes of [[De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak]], with specifically [[De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak: De lieve sneeuwman]] out of order, as well as [[Annet Kossen]]'s Alfred Jodocus Kwak book and the [[Wat Wijzer]] series up to [[Wat Wijzer met Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Propvol]] and including the next book called '''[[Wat Wijzer#Winnie|Winnie]]'''. Following that a short list of music books; [[Muziekboek spetter pieter pater]] and [[De Kwak-liedjes]]. Finally a short list of comics by [[Harald Siepermann]] and [[Hans Bacher]]; [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak]], [[Vissen in troebel water]] and [[Professor Paljas]].<br /> <br /> ===Themes===<br /> Moreso than most books written to recount the episodes from the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]], [[Hanneke Holzhaus]] and [[Herman van Veen]] chose to weave a story between established stories and provide more of a cohesive and thematic whole between them. The theme of death pops up quite often, as this is the story in which the most named characters are mentioned having died; [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]], [[Anna van de Polder]], [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]]&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P151&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 151''&lt;/ref&gt;, [[Jan van de Polder Junior|Jan van de Polder]] (Anna's brother)&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P103&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 103''&lt;/ref&gt;, [[Miriam Merel]] (Dolf's mother)&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P120&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 120''&lt;/ref&gt; and [[Amanda de Vlinder]]&lt;ref name=&quot;DRO P155&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 155''&lt;/ref&gt;. All of them Alfred needs to confront. First off, especially, the death of his family and finding out what happened to them is a driving force from the start of the book. Then when Alfred is finally told by Henk what has happened, it takes finding Amanda on Henk's porch for him to truly start processing his feelings. <br /> <br /> Another element of the story is family and found family. How family can both give you love and give you hate and how that forms children. [[Dolf de Kraai]] is made sympathetic by having a father that hates his existence and a mother that is not strong enough to cope. He outright rejects the compassion that Alfred gives him, and instead pivots to power, and when that doesn't work to groveling at those in power. Because [[Schor de Kraai]] needed to be better than his son, so does Dolf need to be better than anyone else. Because Schor never gave him love and the one person that did, his mother, died, he doesn't expect or want love to survive. But in the end we have a comparison between Alfred, surrounded by friends and a loving surrogate father going through pain, but surviving, and Dolf who is still friends with [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater]] as if nothing has really changed since their days at school. Still isolated, still not accepting love or compassion. And for Dolf it's even worse as he starts robbing stately mansions. <br /> <br /> Dreaming is another theme that pops up regularly, also of course relating to the title of the book. The book plays with the impossibility of dreams having an effect on the real world. Is Alfred dreaming about the [[White chess queen]] or not? The same can be said for whether or not Alfred's dream influenced minstrel [[Kukeleku]]'s work. Or is everything we read from [[Meester Bas Buldog]]'s perspective — the only perspective in which we read more of Kukeleku's work — part of Alfred's dream? This might've been foreshadowed by Amanda de Vlinder's song suddenly being attributed to minstrel Kukeleku. Does that mean all scenes with him are actually part of Alfred's dream as influenced by his reality? It is left ambiguous; an impossible puzzle that doesn't have a solution.<br /> <br /> ==Changes from the original==<br /> : ''This book bases its story on several episodes of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]], specifically episodes [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|1]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 2|2]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 4|5]], [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|12]] and [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 13|13]]. The book takes some liberties however. While some of these descrepancies could be attributed to [[Henk de Mol]] telling [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] about previous events, or Alfred's dreams contain differences to the actual events, most of these changes cannot be reconciled with the animated series' continuity.''<br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|Episode 1]]===<br /> * A very clear distinction is made in the book that the events in this episode are in fact set in [[Breed Rietland]]'s [[Plaspoelpolder]], which is a distinction that the animated series doesn't necessarily make as clear, even though it is mentioned in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#scripts|episode 1 outlines]]. <br /> * Just like in [[De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen]], [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] uses his clog as a boat. <br /> * [[Rap de Kiekendief]] and [[Snel de Snoek]] do not appear in the book. Instead when Johan is confronted by [[Schor de Kraai]] and Schor picks up [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]'s egg, Johan quickly snatches it away and gives it to [[Henk de Mol]]. Alfred then hatches in front of Henk. <br /> * [[Kaspar Rokodil]]'s name is used in every instance in the story about [[Groot Speelgoedland]] in the book, when that should in fact be [[Alfons Rokodil]].<br /> * In the book [[Miriam Merel]] is a lot more the victim of Schor's abuse, rather than joining him in his abuse of Johan. [[Anna van de Polder|Anna]] and their eggs.<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 2|Episode 2]]===<br /> * <br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 4|Episode 4]]===<br /> * A point is made about potatoes not being sold in the [[Polderstad#Middle ages|middle ages]] in the book, that seems to be a reaction to the episode in which it is listed as one of the products sold on the market square in [[Polderstad]] during the [[wikipedia:13th century|13th century]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Potato&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Page 37''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Meester Bas Buldog]] tells the class in the book that people were burnt for being different, specifically women. Their ash would be spread in [[The well|the well]], and their spirits might haunt the area.&lt;ref name=&quot;Well1&quot;&gt;{{CiteBook|DRO}}''Pages 45-47''&lt;/ref&gt; The animated series depicts a more child-friendly story in which people that were different were banished from the city, congregated at the well, and possibly died there.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep4&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|4}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * For this and the following episode the inclusion of [[Krabnagel de Kater]] is completely omitted for the book, possibly because at the end of the book Krabnagel is given a slightly more sympathetic depiction. <br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 5|Episode 5]]===<br /> * [[Henk de Mol]] finds Alfred and [[Dolf de Kraai]] in the well and doesn't have to fend off Krabnagel de Kater, like he needs to do in the episode. Therefore there is also no moment depicted in the book where Henk ends up on a pond with thin ice. <br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 12|Episode 12]]===<br /> * This episode and the following was set during winter, but the book is set during the summer holiday after Alfred J. Kwak graduates from [[wikipedia:Middle school|middle school]].<br /> <br /> ===[[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 13|Episode 13]]===<br /> *<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> &lt;references group=&quot;note&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Book]]<br /> [[Category:Dutch Book]]</div>

<p>Dougurasu: </p> <hr /> <div>==Fictional locations==<br /> This section is concerned with all the locations from the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] and the [[Books|books]]. Below is a list of parts of the fictional world, mostly as it relates to the real world, which the story is based on. Not all parts of the world have a named equivalent within the story. Because of that, real-world geographical terms are used where necessary to describe regions without an established in-universe name. <br /> <br /> :†: ''[[Books|Book]]-only locations''<br /> <br /> ===Europe===<br /> This continent is never given a name in the series, but it contains all the countries based on real-life [[wikipedia:Europe|European]] countries. <br /> ====Groot Waterland====<br /> :::''(lit. &quot;Great Waterland&quot;)''<br /> :::''For more information, check the [[Groot Waterland|main article]]''<br /> ::This country is based on [[wikipedia:The Netherlands|the Netherlands]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Ep50A&quot;&gt;{{CiteAJKep|JA|50}} ''A brief shot of where the [[De Vliegende Molen|Flying Mill]] is going to land clearly shows [[wikipedia:The Netherlands|the Netherlands]].''&lt;/ref&gt; This country is home to most of the protagonists of the animated series.
