About this Fabeltjeskrant hand puppet – Willem Beaver:
Willem Beaver, the beaver with the white apron, is known as the most romantic of the Beaver Brothers. Having only attended technical school, he loves tinkering and repairing things—for example, building a stereo system to impress Martha Hamster. From time to time, he retreats to his allotment garden, sometimes in the company of his friend Harry Spoonbill. Willem Beaver is admired by Martha Hamster, but in his somewhat clumsy way, he often doesn’t quite know how to respond to her affection. The voice of this character in the series was performed by Frans van Dusschoten.
