| |  | | | In Brief
This is a retelling of a Jewish legend about Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, a sixteenth-century mystic who was said to have used the Cabala to bring a clay giant to life "to protect the Jews of Prague from violence resulting from false reports of ritual blood sacrifice. . . . Ultimately the Golem escalates violence rather than curbing it, and the Rabbi must turn him back to clay. . . . Ages seven to ten." (Bull Cent Child Books)
| | | | From The Publisher
A saintly rabbi miraculously brings to life a clay giant who helps him watch over the Jews of sixteenth-century Prague. Retold from traditional sources and accompanied by masterful cut-paper illustrations. "The cut-paper collages are exquisitely produced and exceedingly dramatic. There is menace and majesty in Wisniewski's use of color, and he finds atmosphere and terror in a scissor's stroke. A fact-filled final note concludes this mesmerizing book." -- Kirkus Reviews, pointer
