Sobre este artículo
New York: Macmillan Co, 1950. Stated First Printing. 8vo. 8-3/8" x 5-3/4". Blue cloth covered boards with red and cream colored hex symbol printed on front cover. Spine stamped in red and cream. 451 pp. including extensive bibliography. Map endpapers. Title page is a little foxed. Corner tips and extremities show just a touch of rubbing. Overall a tight, clean, very good copy.. Illustrated with 33 charming pen-and-ink drawings by the author.. This book is the story of a people, of their past and of their present, and of the qualities that set them off from their neighbors. To a surprisingly complete degree the Pennsylvania Dutch are unlike their fellow Americans. In the melting pot of America they retained their individuality. Mr. Klees shines a light on the the spirit of Amish-Mennonite art - decorations, illuminated writing, barn signs, pottery, the architecture of churches, houses and barns. Delightful pages describe recreations and holidays. Mr. Klees is eloquent, too, on the subject of food, and even includes a generous number of recipes for tasty dishes. His epilogue, "A Pennsylvania Dutch Calendar," is a poetic, carefully observed account of the seasons. Himself a Pennsylvania Dutchman, Mr. Klees writes about them with great enthusiasm and affection and is a master of a clear, straight-forward style, touched with a lively sense of humor.
