Description:
"A Water Prince living in the Moldau, talking animals, flying demons, packs of thieves and
kind-hearted folk, intermingled with frequent appearances by King Solomon and David from the
Old Testament – these are the colourful threads from which the stuff of Jewish
fairytales and legends are woven.
Brimming with profoundly worldly wisdom and driven by a deep belief in a higher justice, they
give new and old insights into the Jewish worldview and culture."
Excellent colour illustrations throughout – several of which are full-page and double spread.
Pictorial boards with gilt text to front and to the brown cloth spine. Beige fabric bookmark slightly frayed. Just the slightest hint of wear to the rear board, otherwise the book is in immaculate condition inside and out. Pages are printed on glossy paper, and are tightly bound.
Scarce English translation.
