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

I have adored this book for 50 years, both the illustrations and the stories. The title story never fails to bring a lump to my throat.

These are short stories. They bring to mind the same magical place that Chagall painted: the shtetl. Well, for me, all his stories are brilliant and engrossing. These are not like some of his other stories that have sooo much depth. Theyre more like quips, funny stories.

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

I was introduced to this book via a reading of one of the stories on the CBC. The reader did an excellent job which led me to purchase the book. The stories are great. If you are anti-Semitic, forget the book, but Im not so I love the stories.

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

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.

Really neat interesting stories. Both my grandchildren and I enjoyed it.

Excellent condition!

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.
