Notes

Western Canadian Mennonite Culture. The author has "collected items of folklore - nursery rhymes, songs and maxims - presents them in both Plautdietsch, using the new standardized orthography, and polished idiomatic English. As well he provides the reader with concise descriptions of these Mennonites - their history, their language, along with a literary analysis of their folklore." - from the front flap of the dust jacket.
