I LOVE THESE DUTCH PROVERBS!,
By ERVIN G ROORDA "THE FLYING DUTCHMAN" (MILL CREEK, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dutch Proverbs (Paperback)
I AM OF DUTCH DESCENT AND WAS INTRIGUED WITH THIS LITTLE BOOK. THE PROVERBS ARE GROUPED BY VARIOUS CATEGORIES, SUCH AS "EXPERIENCE, THRIFT & WORK, WISDOM, HONOR, SILENCE, HOME, RELATIONS, FRIENDS, NATURE, AND FAITH." THE LAYOUT AND ARTISTIC DESIGN IS DELIGHTFUL. I WAS ESPECIALLY PROUD TO DISCOVER THAT SEVERAL OF THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS INCLUDED PEOPLE I KNOW FROM MY HOME TOWN OF PELLA, IOWA. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT FOR ANY ONE, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH A DUTCH HERITAGE.

Dutch Proverbs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dutch Proverbs (Paperback)
Over 100 proverbs were principally chosen from a "Polyglot of Foreign Proverbs" by Henry Bohn. The proverbs will delight you with their whimsical lyrics, their somber truths, their joyful proclamations and their interpretations of nature and relationships.Hindeloopen folk art is a distinctive style of art, drawing from the scrolls of the Baroque period, the exotic birds of East Indian art, and the stylization of flower forms. Its geographical roots lie in the northwest Netherlands in the thriving seaport of seventeenth-century Hindeloopen. Today, this folk art is recognized by its red or green background, seen on decorated furniture or other pieces of folk art. The stylized Hindeloopen folk art, interwoven among the words of wisdom from the Dutch, creates an aesthetically charming collection. Sallie Haugen DeReus's full color Hindeloopen folk art paintings grace the front and back covers.
