(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jenya Promitsky. A rabbi tries to save his Eastern European town from cholera by re-creating an age-old legend: if two orphans marry one another in a cemetery a miracle might occur. With the help of a clever klezmer musician, beautiful Sheyndle-Rivke and kind Shmuel do just that. Jaunty illustrations effectively convey character and setting as well as complementing the lengthy text's idiomatic dialogue. With an author's note. Glos.
