Showing Rosanna of the Amish by Joseph Warren Yoder

Joseph W. Yoder's thrillling narrative of an Irish Catholic baby girl brought up by an Amish woman represents the beginnings of Mennonite literature in America. In this new edition, the original 1940 text is restored and the classic book is placed in its cultural and historical context with a critical introduction by Julia Spicher Kasdorf. The earthy Pennsylvania German colloquial language of earlier editions can now be read as the author intended.
