DANCING MAN Hardback

Item No: 9772

$16.00

By Ruth Lercher Bornstein.

Young Joseph, an orphan in a poor and gloomy Baltic village, wants nothing more than to dance. The mysterious elderly man he meets by the shore gives him a pair of silver shoes; when he grows into them, they give him the courage to set out along the dusty road "even as far as the southernmost sea." He dances over the years for solemn villagers, an ailing child, a weary peddler until he, too, feels weariness in his bones. Finally reaching his ultimate destination, he meets a young boy and bequeaths his unique footwear to the next generation.
