The Holy Land is often considered to be a region in which the extraordinary occurences of Biblical times eclipsed the story telling cycle. It seems as if the weight of the Christian legacy allowed these rich lands only a brief cultural life before consigning them to obscurity , robbed of the vibrancy of the people who have continued to live there. Over the ages , ordinary Moslem , Jewish and Christian people have gathered to share their heritage. Whether it be beneath the full vines of Autumn or while taking refuge against the chill of a January downpour , these stories have been passed on and embellished for millennia. This book provides an excellent guide to a neglected tradition , superbly retold by a sympathetic interpreter.........The book is in very good condition , with only very minor shelf wear.The pages are bright and clean ( 280 pages ) The cover shows ' The Departure of Abraham 'by Josef Molar. This book was first published in 1907 as ' Folklore of the Holy Land "
