Description
|
|
|
|
A three-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award and the editor of such story collections as Elijah's Violin, Miriam's Tambourine, and Tree of Souls, Howard Schwartz here gathers and retells a hundred of the most astonishing and luminous tales from Jewish folk tradition. In these stories, a bride who is not careful may end up marrying a demon, while Schwartz's retelling of "The Finger," inspired Tim Burton's film Corpse Bride. A dybbuk lurks in a well, a book comes to life, and Lilith, Queen of Demons, seduces the unsuspecting. Here too are Jewish versions of such tales as "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Rapunzel."
