Overview
Quick-thinking, clever, and funny, the legendary Hershel of Ostropol is one of folk-loreās greatest tricksters.
Author Eric A. Kimmel collected these stories growing up in Brooklyn, New York as well as from anthologies of Jewish folklore and oral histories.
A perfect gift for Hanukah, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and even graduations!
Kimmel writes in his forward, āThese stories reflect the values and cultural traditions of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. However, one does not have to be Jewish to enjoy them. Hershel, like Coyote, Anansi, Bārer Rabbit, and Tyll Eulenspiegel, belongs to all of us.ā
Caldecott-medalist Trina Schart Hymanās beautifully detailed illustrations introduce each story and decorate the cover.
Kimmel and Schart Hyman also collaborated on the classic Caldecott Honor book Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins.
