In Leaves from the Garden of Eden, Howard Schwartz, a threetime winner of the National Jewish Book Award, has gathered together one hundred of the most astonishing and luminous stories from Jewish folk tradition. Just as Schwartz's awardwinning book Tree of Souls collected the essential myths of Jewish tradition, Leaves from the Garden of Eden collects one hundred essential Jewish tales. As imaginative as the Arabian Nights, these stories invoke enchanted worlds, demonic realms, and mystical experiences. The four most popular types of Jewish tales are gathered herefairy tales, folktales, supernatural tales, and mystical talestaking readers on heavenly journeys, lifelong quests, and descents to the underworld. There is a dybbuk lurking in a well, a book that comes to life, and a world where Lilith, the Queen of Demons, seduces the unsuspecting. Here too are Jewish versions of many of the bestknown tales, including 'Cinderella,' 'Snow White,' and 'Rapunzel.' Schwartz's retelling of one of these stories, 'The Finger,' inspired Tim Burton's film Corpse Bride.
