This engaging collection moves through the Jewish calendar to encompass twelve holidays. Schwartz follows these brief, clear, and simply told tales with rich and highly readable notes about the history of the holiday, the importance of the rabbi, and the sources of the story. Stylized eastern European folk illustrations capture the miraculous spirit of the stories. Glos.
