Vintage 1976 The Rabbi and the Twenty Nine Witches by Marilyn Hirsh Scholastic softcover book. Once a month, when the moon is full, twenty-nine of the meanest,
scariest, ugliest, wickedest witches that ever lived come out of their
cave to terrify the villagers . . . until one day the wise rabbi invents
a plan to rid his village of those wicked witches forever. The rabbi's clever plan works with hilarious results! 32 pages
Marilyn Hirsh, a children’s author and illustrator, incorporated
her Peace Corps experience in India and her Jewish heritage into much of
her work, written and visual. Her interests in art and history also
surfaced at the Indian art courses she taught at two New York colleges.
In 1988, she died of cancer at the young age of 44.
In 1978,
Hirsh received both the Asian Cultural Center UNESCO prize and the Noma
Concours Award for children’s picture book illustrations for The Elephants and the Mice. The next year, she won the Sydney Taylor Body-Of-Work Award, and in 1986 Joseph Who Loved The Sabbath earned
the Sydney Taylor Children’s Book Award. She garnered several other
awards for her writing and illustrating before her death in October
1988.
Great pre-loved
condition! The usual fawning to paper, rimples and
dimples to cover edges, light wear to edges from years of sitting on the rumpus room book case, but nothing that distracts! Please see enlarged pics for best description and details.
