Description

This wonderful addition presents nearly 200 marvellous tales from the vivid world of East European Jewry. Drawn from the archives of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, and superbly translated, these funny, pious, moralistic, and magical tales, peopled by rabbis and fools, prophets and princesses, form the most complete record to date of a vital folkloric tradition.
