Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends

This 1919 collection by Gertrude Landa is a genuine cultural treasure — 27 tales drawn directly from Talmudic and Midrashic sources, told with imagination and warmth for young readers. It's a rare window into Jewish folk tradition written specifically for children, and its public-domain status means it's freely available. The early-20th-century prose style will feel a bit old-fashioned to some kids, but adventurous middle-grade readers and families will find it enchanting.
