Description

By: Walter Henry Nelson .

In Small Wonder, a story the Chicago Tribune called "entertaining.... A professional job about a professional job," Walter Henry Nelson describes the obstacle course over which the Volkswagen Beetle has traveled. This is the story of the birth, the development, the problems, the fantastic success, the classic ad campaign, the mystique - the whole story of the Volkswagen in a fast-moving, entertaining volume. Nelson answers honestly questions about the Volkswagen, from Hitler's motives for building a "people's car" to the initial failure of the car in the U.S. market.

Small Wonder is a tribute to the craftsmanship and built-in honesty of the Beetle, traits that, to this day, keep millions of Beetles still on the road - and even more in people's hearts and memories.

    Easy to read

    Posted by Clifford Willard on 13th Nov 2013

    If you are interested in Volkswagens, this is a book that is hard to put down. Very easy reading and not too technical. After finishing the book, I was left wondering if miracles really do occur. The birth of the Beetle had everything going against it, yet it survived and thrived against all the odds. Walter Henry Nelson tells it all.
