Michael Iofin.
Despite the narrow margins and the illustrations that tightly hug the gutter, this collection of fifteen stories is a well-documented contribution to the storyteller's repertoire. Hansel and Gretel appear as Rachel and Reuben in a story about bravery and pride, and children will likely recognize "The Fisherman and His Wife" in "The Fisherman and the Silver Fish," a story about Moses.
