Reviews

“Although the average Upper Palatinate knows very little or nothing at all about earlier literary work in his administrative region, the Upper Palatinate can still boast that it is the only Bavarian region to have an extensive literary history with a supplementary reading book that for the time of its publication as is rated exemplary. What is meant here is the "literary history of the Upper Palatinate-Egerland tribe" published by Karl Winkler (1891–1961) with the 2nd volume " Nordgau lesebuch". "
