'N Fonnie Bisnis: The Yankee Dutch World of Loe Verlak, Peenter, Peeperhenger, Dikkereeter, Sage [With CD] Paperback - 2005
by Dirk Nieland
From the rear cover
This work is a celebration of Yankee Dutch, the colorful language adopted by thousands of Hollanders after immigrating to America. Written in a peculiar English with Dutch spellings, Dirk Nieland's "'n Fonnie Bisnis" recounts the humorous adventures of Loe Verlak, the prototypical Dutch immigrant, as he gets into all sorts of "funny business" around his community. Nieland's fourteen vignettes touch on a wide variety of Dutch life, from Sunday school picnics to everyday jobs to the joys and trials of marriage.
Including a foreword (in plain English) by George G. Harper and an extensive vocabulary chart, "'n Fonnie Bisnis" gives a picturesque glimpse into an ethnic enclave that has since been forever transformed by the passage of time. In this new edition the book along with its audio CD will continue to delight anyone interested in Dutch American people, language, and culture.
