Editorial Reviews

Book Description
Imagine a village with a town drunk who doesn't drink and a carpenter who takes measurements only with his thumb. Welcome to the town of Chelm, Poland, a place filled with lovable fools sure to provide laughter for the entire family.

The Brothers Schlemiel follows the lives of identical twins Adam and Abraham from birth to adulthood as they encounter thieves, Gypsies, kings, and love, celebrate good luck, and face challenges to their Jewish identity and family loyalty.

Color illustrations by acclaimed artist Zevi Blum accompany the tale, turning the adventures of Adam and Abraham into a visual delight.

From the Publisher
A beautiful story collection, in the tradition of such JPS books as Wise and Not So Wise and The Power of Song.
