Two early works by S.Y. Abramovitsh introduce the reader to Abramovitsh's alter ego Mendele the Book Peddler. Mendele narrates both The Little Man and Fishke the Lame. Sholem Aleichem's Tevye reemerges from new translations of Hodel and Chava in all of his comic splendour. The selections from Peretz include his finest stories about the hasidim, such as Kabbalists, Teachings of the Hasidim, and the ironic tale The Rebbe's Pipe.
