Description:The very cordial welcome given to my earlier volume of "Jewish Fairy Tales and Fables" has prompted me to draw further upon Rabbinic lore in the interest, chiefly, of the children. How the wise Rabbis of old took into account the necessities of the little ones, whose minds they understood so perfectly, is obvious from such legends as those dealing with boyish exploits of the great Biblical characters, Abraham, Moses, and David. These I have rewritten from the stories in the Talmud and Midrash in a manner suitable for the children of to-day. I have ventured also beyond the confines of these two wonderful compilations. There is a wealth of delightful imagination in the legends and folk-lore of the Jews of a later period which is almost entirely unknown to children. I have drawn also on these sources for some of the stories here presented. My desire is to give boys and girls and adults! something Jewish which they may be able to regard as companion delights to the treasury of general fairy-lore and childish romance. Aunt Naomi. When Childhood's toys have passed away, May Books become another play. Then may each book a blessing give And bring you pleasure while you live. -Ruth Landa.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
