These are marvelous, well-told stories. * Journal Of The Royal Musical Association *\u003cbr\u003eJewish Stories is an anthology of 64 folk tales selected from Schram's extensive repertoire. They represent a variety of genres: fables and parables; midrashic elaborations on biblical characters or verses; hasidic stories; fairy tales transposed into a Jewish setting (a Jewish Cinderella story, for example); women's wisdom told over needlework or laundry; and riddles, proverbs, and jokes expanded into tales. Schram introduces each of the stories with an explanation of its origins—both where she first heard the story and its literary and folkloristic antecedents. * Hadassah Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of 64 folk tales, myths, and morality tales is a vivid medley of Jewish culture, customs, and history. . . . The work is both entertaining and scholarly. * The New York Times *","brand":"Jason Aronson, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039017107799,"sku":"9780876689677","price":112.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780876689677.jpg?v=1750942290","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jewish-stories-one-generation-tells-another-9780876689677","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
