Sooner or later everyone who lives in, or visits The Hague is bound to meet it. On municipal stationary, facades, weather vanes and traffic bollards. The stork is a very familiar sight. Since the sixteenth century the stork has graced The Hague's coat of arm and a wide range of city fixtures. In this book, Robert van Lit, historian at The Hague Historical Museum, sketches the background and history of the Hague's stork. When was the bird chosen as the city's heraldic symbol? And why the stork? The book not only answers these questions but enters into the trials and tribulations of the wild storks in The Hague of yesterday and today. After having largely disappeared for the last few decades, storks are now happily returning to nest, for example in Marlot, an elegant residential area of the city. The stork's role in superstition and symbolism is also discussed in the book. Numerous pictures show how the arms of The Hague developed and were used over the centuries. A fascinating and often amusing fly-over.
