Greater than one weekThese 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThe 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.
