Eight tales—one for each night of the Hanukkah celebration—once again demonstrate the inventive storytelling powers of Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer.  Miracles and visitations abound in the world Mr. singer portrays, a world in which love triumphs over time and tribulation, and faith prevails.  Each story—whether it be "A Hanukkah Evening in My Father's House," which is drawn from the author's childhood; "Menasche and Rachel," a story of the transforming love shared by two blind children; or "The Power of Light," a tale of two refugees from the Warsaw ghetto who escape to Israel—is invested with the mystical spirit of Hanukkah.  Irene Lieblich, who illustrated Mr. Singer's A Tale of Three Wishes, here draws on her own childhood in Poland to create full-color pictures that are as heartwarming and comforting as they are enchanting.
