First of all, a warning. You really really need a smattering of Yiddish to understand the jokes in this book, and maybe a little more if you want to get all the in jokes and the names. Which are hilarious. All the yiddish words are italicized and some are explained in the next breath, so it isn't too bad. The stories parallel the traditional tales which adds to the fun. The puns and jokes and Jewish stereotypes are non-stop. Which brings me to the second warning, this book is NOT politically correct or totally clean. But boy is it funny. Short of the borsht belt you can't get this stuff anymore! I'm glad mine Yiddishe Mother and Father taught me enough to enjoy this book.
