The Wonder Child: & Other Jewish Fairy Tales
Howard Schwartz, Barbara Rush. HarperCollins Publishers, $16.95 (66pp) ISBN 978-0-06-023517-8
Howard Schwartz and Barbara Rush bring together eight traditional Jewish stories from the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe in The Wonder Child & Other Jewish Fairy Tales. Some of these stories are unique to Jewish lore; others resemble familiar fairy tales. Steven Fieser's illustrations are capable but conventional, rather like the text itself.
