54 charming and evocative tales, especially translated from Hebrew for this volume, recapture a rich yet virtually forgotten chapter in the historyof Jewish narrative. They form the important transitional link between the esoteric mystical teachings of the sixteenth century Kabbalists and the populist tales of the eighteenth century Eastern European Hasidim.
