Two of the selections in The Adventures of Hershel of Ostropol - "What Hershel's Father Did" and "The Bandit" - appeared in an earlier, more limited collection, Hershel of Ostropol, as did the introduction. Whatever their source (and Kimmel mentions a collection in Yiddish, and one in Hebrew, from which he drew), these tales are immensely humorous and entertaining, not to mention emotionally satisfying, as the reader gets to witness the cunning of a poor but clever man pitted against wealth and privilege. The accompanying artwork from Hyman is appealing, so far as it went, but I wished that there was more of it, given that it consists solely of small black-and-white panels at each chapter-header. Recommended to anyone who had read Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins and wanted more, as well as to all folklore enthusiasts. ( )
