The Answered Prayer And Other Yemenite Folktales is a compilation of twelve Yeminite Jewish stories selected from Mishael Maswari Caspi's extenstive collection of hundreds of such tales, and translated into English when they were adapted by Sharlya Gold for young readers. Nicely illustrated in black and white by Marjory Wunsch, these Yeminite Jewish folktales include: The Wanderer; Ovediah's Fortune; The King's Three Questions; The dreamers; Moshe the Miser; The Nagging Wife; The Purchase; The Woodcutter; Ya'ish and the Protector; Elijah's Mercy; The Three Wise Acts; and the title story, The Answered Prayer. This wonderfully presented and highly recommended collection is enhanced for young readers (as well as their parents and teachers) with a glossary of yemenitie words and phrases, and a pronunciation guide to Yemenite names.
