The Jewish Book of Fables: The Selected Works (Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, and Art)

Rating:
Summary: A fabulous book of fables!
Review: Having grown up on the original versions of these fables (Shtaynbarg was often compared to Aesop, La Fontaine, and Krylov) I was looking for an English version for my grandchildren (I even attempted to translate some myself).
Professor Leviant's translations capture the spirit of the original and the volume is beautifully illustrated by Dana Craft.
The only thing missing (maybe because of copyrights) is the woodcut portrait of Shtaynbarg by Arthur Kolnik, which is the frontispiece to Yiddish editions of the "Mesholim.
Every library should have this book!
