Jewish folklore overflows with vivid stories that both entertain and teach. In 1919, "Aunt Naomi" (Gertrude Landa) wrote Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends, a book of 27 fairy tales based on stories of the Jewish interpretations of the Bible. While some of the themes are familiar from contemporary fairy tales and folklore, other stories in this collection are infused with the inimitably Jewish struggle for survival and dignity; all are flavoured with a large helping of gentle humour. Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends tells of the boyish exploits of Abraham, Moses, and David, but also includes stories of higgledy-piggledy palaces, beggar kings, quarreling cats and dogs, waterbabes, bogey-men, magic red slippers, a talmudic Sinbad, Alexander the Great, and even the story of a star child. Aunt Naomi strove to create a collection of Jewish delights that boys and girls could add to their treasuries of general fairy-lore and childish romance. In this she succeeded-Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends not only preserves a cultural history, but also is richly entertaining. We invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Jewish folklore not seen in print for over ninety years; immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear. A percentage of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated towards education scholarships for underprivileged Jewish youth.

Fairy tales fascinate with their magic, romance, adventure and passion. At the same time, the messages they impart can be disturbing, implying that only the beautiful, powerful or cunning live happily ever after; and that the goal of a happy ending overshadows every other value. The Jewish stories collected in Not So Grimm bear striking similarities to such fairy tale classics as Sleeping Beauty and The Frog Prince. Their drama and romance capture the imagination, while celebrating different values, such as moral integrity, humility and compassion. Each tale is followed by a brief comparison to its fairy tale counterpart, demonstrating the significant twists of plot that alter the meaning of the story and bring a new message to the listener - one that is rooted in Jewish values, thought, and practice. The enthralling power of these stories vies with the most potent and poignant of classic fairy tales. The stories have been written for adults to enjoy and share with the children in their lives. They will enrich both the readers' and the listeners' Jewish experience, and people their imaginations with a colorful and inspiring cast of characters.
