The book by James Hanauer, a renowned keeper of all types of oral chronicles of urban life, returns to the reader the world of almost lost folklore of Palestine. These legends are colorful inflorescences of a language untouched by vanity, grown in houses where people did not know books, spending evenings in the faint light of a candle. The folklore of Palestine is able to convey a lot not only about the past of countries, tribes, peoples and languages, but also about the daily life and relationships of the three great religions that originated on Semitic land and live side by side with each other, as well as about the animistic and magical ideas of the people.
