Description
|
|
|
|
A cleric and lifelong resident of the Holy Land, J.E. Hanauer collected these folktales from the region that the three great Abrahamic religions all call home. Here are Christian, Moslem, and Judaic stories describing the Creation, the lives of saints and sinners, the cause of earthquakes and eclipses, the deaths of Aaron and Moses, and the lives of David, Solomon, and Simon the Just. Legends and anecdotes characterize the Jaffa Gate at Jerusalem, relate detective stories and scraps of unwritten history, and portray the events of the Saragossan Purim.
