Jewish folklore overflows with vivid stories that both entertain and teach.
In 1919, “Aunt Naomi” (Gertrude Landa) wrote Jewish Fairy Tales and
Legends, a book of 27 fairy tales based on stories of the Jewish
interpretations of the Bible. While some of the themes are familiar from
contemporary fairy tales and folklore, other stories in this collection are
infused with the inimitably Jewish struggle for survival and dignity; all are
flavoured with a large helping of gentle humour.

flavoured with a large helping of gentle humour.
Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends tells of the boyish exploits of Abraham,
Moses, and David, but also includes stories of higgledy-piggledy palaces,
beggar kings, quarreling cats and dogs, waterbabes, bogey-men, magic
red slippers, a talmudic Sinbad, Alexander the Great, and even the story
of a star child.
Aunt Naomi strove to create a collection of Jewish delights that boys
and girls could add to their treasuries of general fairy-lore and childish
romance. In this she succeeded—Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends not
only preserves a cultural history, but also is richly entertaining.
We invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Jewish folklore not
seen in print for over ninety years; immerse yourself in these tales and
fables of yesteryear.
A percentage of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated
towards education scholarships for underprivileged Jewish youth.
