A Day Of Pleasure And Other Stories For Children

Description for A DAY OF PLEASURE AND OTHER STORIES FOR CHILDREN by Isaac Bashevis Singer:

A DAY OF PLEASURE is Singer's collection of autobiographical stories that brings to life a world now lost forever.  He writes of his early days in Poland, when life was often hard but always, to a boy of his imagination, a wonder.  On Warsaw's Korchmalna Street in that time gone by, breezes from the Vistula and the Praga forest mingled with the street smells and the aroma of fresh bagels.  It was a world full of scholars and urchins, peddlers and thieves, even hobgoblins and imps, and young Isaac's curiosity about htem all is beautifully captured by the master storyteller, looking back and remembering.
