Synopsis

When a magician offers a poor man and his family seven years of good luck, he is surprised that they have no use for a life of wealth. These refreshingly down-to-earth characters are happy with their simple life together. Based on the Yiddish tale by I. L. Peretz, this story will charm readers. Bright and colorful illustrations pair beautifully in this witty retelling. A note explains the context of the story and the history of the Yiddish storyteller, I. L. Peretz.
