The Holy Land (Old And Rare) – Legends, Myths

The folklore of every land is passed on through storytelling, the traditional way by which the shared wisdom of a community is handed down from generation to generation. But what of the folklore of the Holy Land?
The Holy Land is often considered to be a region in which the extraordinary occurences of Biblical times eclipsed this storytelling 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 volume provides an excellent guide to a neglected tradition, superbly retold by a sympathetic interpreter.
