Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer (1984-10-10)

i bought this for myself (an adult). Makes me cry for some reason.

The stories in this book are written for children They are Yiddish folktales that center around the silly people from the town of Cheim known as a village of fools. The stories range from scary stories about devils to hilarious tales of the simple, but unusual people that live in or near the town of Cheim. These stories take you back into the Jewish past, and often center around the Jewish holiday of Hannukah. The village setting very much reminds me of the little traditional Yiddish village in the opening of Fiddler on the Roof. The illustrations are beautiful but exaggerated by Maurice Sendak.

arrivato in tempo brevissimo ok per lo stato del libro

From the Jewish culture comes folktales that are heartwarming and silly (those fools in Chelm!)

Excellent choice for my Grandson. One of my favorite authors. Exactly what I hoped to expect.

I have long loved Isaac Bashevis Singers works . This small book of stories is a delight and joy. They are in the vein of the stories of my childhood...The Three Sillies.. and so on. he is a windful writer and his is a delightful book. It could be for children but i read it in one sitting and will read again today.

Absolutely wonderful and timeless book, for adults and children alike. Every story is deeply meaningful and adorably funny. Must have treasure in any personal library.

My 9 year old Daughter brought this book from School,when she read to me I fell in Love with it.She asked for it as Christmas present.Fast delivery.Thank you.

Zlateh the Goat is the best story I have read, for both children and adults. Its message of compassion and understanding reaches the hearts of all. Diana Townsend
