Solid hardcover. ; "This charming and informal books describes and illustrates typical incidents in an ordinary year of work and play among the Amish-men of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Here are the Amish engaged in the everyday activities of country life - working hard on their rich farms, shrewdly doing business in town, relaxing at a wedding or a barn-raising, soberly attending a funeral. ... Although the Amish do not care to be either photographed or written about, Mr Rice and Mr Steinmetz, as neighbors of long standing, have succeeded in portraying them in a series of casual, vivid photographs and verbal sketches." ; Photographs; 224 pages.
