erman book would be harder to understand. With poetry I have much worse experien
ces. Something nice about this book is that it is culture from Schleswig-Holstei
n. The book is much better than I thought. The Hamburg Lesehefte publisher behin
d even a glossary of old German and reprinted by coastal people used words and a
time table Theodor Storms. The price of 1,60 â ¬ is also encouraging. I am pleasa
ntly surprised by this book and can only recommend. Introduction: 47 words Main
