The book is supposedly influenced by Finnegans Wake and Ubu Roi[2] and was awarded with the Gouden Penseel for the beautiful ink drawings that Wim added to the story.

The book, published in 1989, describes the town of Vlissingen after the bombings of World War II.

The main character is a little boy, who is trying to escape, and decides to build a raft, to be able to travel like Huckleberry Finn.

The subtitle ("is het verhaal van Sneeuwwitje en de zeven dwergen") means "is the story of Snow white and the seven dwarves".

Like other books of Wim Hofman ("Klein Duimpje", "Straf"/"A Good Hiding") it shows the powerless position of children in the world.
