Illustrated by
Mark Podwal.
In graceful, unadorned prose with a casually conversational tone, Wiesel retells stories from the life of King Solomon. Well-known stories of the king's renowned wisdom, the building of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the visit by the Queen of Sheba appear in the collection. Spare but striking acrylic and colored pencil pictures suit the text's pared-down tone.
