Many well-known tales from the Hebrew Bible, including stories about Abraham and Isaac, Moses, and Esther, are included in this collection. The stories retain a straightforward power that serves them well, and each references the Bible passages it originates from. Some of the rough, sketchy drawings verge on caricatures, but others have an endearing homely quality.
