Myths & Monsters in Jewish Tradition

Judaism is full of magic, mystery and myths. Yet for most modern Jews these critical components of our tradition remain relegated to the distant past. In a desire to be perceived as adequately assimilated, Jewish folklore has receded into obscurity. 

From magical beasts who rule the sea and sky to demons who threaten one's daily calm, from places where no one ever dies to places purely inhabited by the shades of the dead –The Almond Tree's Trunk aims only to be the briefest introduction to the wonderful and wondrous world of Jewish folklore. 

Featuring 36 of the most beguiling and bewitching beings, places, and legends of Judaism, The Almond Tree's Trunk is meant to provide an introduction to our own mythological tradition for children and adults. 

This edition is paperback in full-colour on heavy glossy paper and in an A5 format.
