{"product_id":"9780199779475","title":"Leaves from the Garden of Eden","description":"In \u003cem\u003eLeaves from the Garden of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e, Howard Schwartz, a three-time 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 award-winning book \u003cem\u003eTree of Souls\u003c\/em\u003e collected the essential myths of Jewish tradition, \u003cem\u003eLeaves from the Garden of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e collects one hundred essential Jewish tales. As imaginative as the \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e, these stories invoke enchanted worlds, demonic realms, and mystical experiences. The four most popular types of Jewish tales are gathered here--fairy tales, folktales, supernatural tales, and mystical tales--taking 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 best-known tales, including \"Cinderella,\" \"Snow White,\" and \"Rapunzel.\" Schwartz's retelling of one of these stories, \"The Finger,\" inspired Tim Burton's film \u003cem\u003eCorpse Bride\u003c\/em\u003e.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120014311664,"sku":"9780199779475","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199779475_p0.jpg?v=1763672683","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199779475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
