Jewish writings. No attempt has been made to give a literal translation. The stories have been retold in a modern setting. Some of them may possibly recall a few wellknown tales and parables. Most of them are original, and on that account of more than passing interest, apart from their intrinsic value. Something of the spirit of Israel lies concealed in the old Jewish stories. It is the earnest hope of the present writer that a little of this spirit will be found to be revealed in the following pages. G. F.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book treats us to an anthology of Jewish folk stories and fairy tales that have been retold with a modern twist, yet they retain their ancient spirit. Stories such as âThe Giant Ogâ show the scale of these tales, with Og standing seventy men tall and so strong he could crush an army beneath his mountain-sized weapon. The depth of the storiesâ themes is highlighted in âThe Kingâs Servants,â where one must always be ready when summoned, and always present oneself with the utmost preparation and respect. Readers will notice echoes of the Old Testament in some stories and teachings of the Talmud in others. The author draws on their deep knowledge of Judaism and its rich history to present tales that are as insightful as they are entertaining.
