Excerpt from Jewish Fairy Tales and Stories All the stories in this little book, except the first, have been collected from various Jewish writings. No attempt has been made to give a literal translation. The stories have been retold in a modern setting. Some of them may possibly recall a few well-known tales and parables. Most of them are original, and on that account of more than passing interest, apart from their intrinsic value. Something of the spirit of Israel lies concealed in the old Jewish stories. It is the earnest hope of the present writer that a little of this spirit will be found to be revealed in the following pages.
