Description

Steve Sanfield (au); Mickhail Magaril (il). Master storyteller Steve Sanfield has listened with fond ear to the centuries-old echoes of a town “where kindness & sweetness & silliness” have dwelt side by side from the beginning. In the town of Chelm, 7 & 7 are 11. It’s a matter of local logic, & you can find the proof of it on page 69. In the town of Chelm, Berish the Shammes, so his feet shouldn’t mar the beauty of any newly fallen snow while alerting merchants to the coming Sabbath, stands on a table & is carried aloft by 4 other Chelmites. If you think this sounds foolish, please turn to page 53. If you like riddles, pages 74 & 75 present some of Chelm’s best. If you enjoy sights, Russian artist Mikhail Magaril’s merry & touching view of Chelm will enlighten you.
