Publisher's Synopsis
Traditional Jewish folk stories have been treasured, retold, and carried from country to country throughout the ages. This diverse collection contains tales from lands as far flung as Poland, Afghanistan, Czechoslovakia, Morocco, Russia, and Germany. Readers meet a silent princess, a chili champion, soldiers and scholars, a Golem, flustered tailors, and even a prince who's convinced he's a rooster. Brimming with humor and magic, Ann Jungman's spirited retellings add new life to tales familiar to Jewish readers while making the stories accessible to a broad new readership.
