Who is the Corpse Bride? What is a Golem? And why is there no room even to swing a cat? The answers to these and many other intriguing questions can be found in this colourful collection of ten traditional Jewish stories which have been told, retold and carried through countries as far apart as Russia, Morocco, Czechoslovakia and Libya before finally being brought to Israel. The tales range from comic to romantic to thoughtful, with a cast of princes and sharp-witted scholars, flustered tailors, and even a lively corpse. Seasoned with humour, wit and ancient magic, Ann Jungman's retellings - many of them familiar to Jewish readers - will now delight a new, wider readership.
