Gertrude Landa’s Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends draws on the Talmud, the Midrash, and centuries of Ashkenazi and Sephardic folk tradition to present a collection of stories suffused with wisdom, wonder, and gentle humour. Tales of King Solomon’s magical powers, clever rabbis, and miraculous interventions sit alongside fables and parables that have comforted and instructed Jewish communities across the diaspora.
A warm and beautifully assembled volume, this is an ideal introduction to the rich folklore of the Jewish tradition. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted for any e-reader or device.
