[Bin Gorion's] crowning achievement was Mimekor Yisrael, a multilayered compendium of post-biblical Jewish lore and demonology. --Commentary

One of the most extraordinary publishing events in my memory--a huge source of discoveries of the quintessential Jewish experience. --Nat Hentoff

This is a most important collection, actually unique in its field. I recommend it to all good readers. --Isaac Bashevis Singer

It is wonderful to have this treasure trove of Jewish Folktales finally available in English. --Bruno Bettelheim

Indispensable to anyone wishing to learn and explore the beauty of ancient Jewish legends. --Elie Wiesel

For this new edition, Dan Ben-Amos has added commentary, historical identification of personalities and events, extensive headnotes, and a survey of relevant editions and sources. A truly monumental work.
