Illustrated by
Mark Podwal.
Sobel tells ten stories about the biblical leader, Moses, who survives his life of trials because of the intervention of angels. The mystical stories, set in a world where the boundaries between Heaven and Earth are vague, are told in an unadorned style, beautifully balanced with Podwal's spare paintings. A note about how closely these stories resemble the legends listed as sources would have been helpful.
