"The first part of the book covers immigration, family and home life, unique dialect, folk art, beliefs, superstitions, and contributions. Folklore that reflects important components of Pennsylvania German life-traditions, beliefs, and superstitions-is offered in the second part, with childhood rhymes (in German and English), tall tales, plant legends, and traditional tales. Tales include brauche (healing) and hexe stories, spirit stories, stories of special days, and stories about a cunning fellow named Eileschpeggel (Owl Mirror). Favorite recipes complete the volume.
