Florence Starr Taylor's energetic drawings capture the spirit of the Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the first half of this century. "The simplicity of these drawings . . . echoes the life-style of [Taylor's] subjects. Taylor portrays the Amish farmers at work, in contemplation, or socializing with family and friends. The children and women are similarly captured in the midst of their usual activities. None is specifically posed for the artist . . . Graybill supplies a pleasant introduction to Taylor and her work." -- Booklist
