Followup to "Der Volksfreund, Hex Signs, Folk Tales and Witchcraft of the Pennsylvania Dutch."
A fascinating collage of art, oral history, folk tales, scholarship and personal, family memory, Der Zauberschpiggel provides unique insight into the mis-named Pennsylvania Dutch, the descendants of immigrants from the Rhine in the Eighteenth Century, to America. The author, an accomplished practitioner of the folk art of those people, and a product of their culture, makes illustrative use of his own work largely in the form of his Hex Sign paintings, and of his family history, Includes a number of contributors including articles by his brother, scholar Russell Yoder, Dennis Boyer, John Joseph Stoudt, Edwin Miller Fogel and many many more.
