Family recommendations:
• Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer

• The Feather Merchants & Other Tales of the Fools of Chelm by Steve Sanfield
• When Shlemiel Went to Warsaw & Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer
• The Diamond Tree Jewish Tales from Around the World selected & retold by Howard Schwartz & Barbara Rush
For adults~
A Treasury of Yiddish Stories Edited by Irving Howe and Eliezer Greenberg is a collection of stories that continues to amaze me in how it delivers such pleasure and where I find myself going between emotions such as laughter and tears fomr story to story. As Isaac Bashevis Singer aptly said, Yiddish is a language with vitamins.
