A Noted Book Artist's Take on a Traditional Jewish Folk Tale
This artist’s book was created through the combined talents of noted book-artist David ben Shaul and Uri Orlev, one of the most outstanding Israeli authors of literature for children and a recipient of the highly prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award (1996). The book is a modern take on the traditional Jewish folk tale, using elements that are common to the genre. Unfolding accordion-style, the book was screen-printed and issued in a limited edition of seventy five signed and numbered copies. An English translation by Hillel Halkin accompanies it.
