As a result, this collection is a world tour between two covers, but not at the expense of the unifying element common to these stories: their uniquely Jewish flavor of \"...doing the right thing, on surviving by cleverness and kindness and on the need for keeping a good sense of humor.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSherman's collection includes magical tales; stories about clever folks; tales of ghosts, gilguls, and other strange things; fables that deal with doing the right thing; and stories about the delightfully silly Wise Men of Chelm. Entertaining and illuminating story notes give additional information on the origins and different versions of the tales. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josepha Sherman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874833078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874833072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e August House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.58w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1993 pg. 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1993 - Recommended, Satisfactory","brand":"Josepha Sherman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926714155263,"sku":"9780874833072","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_76cceaa5-6b36-43f7-9a7c-535fab3eb75a.jpg?v=1681084601","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rachel-the-clever-josepha-sherman-9780874833072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
