Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Within the beautiful city of Prague, fierce hatreds have raged for a thousand years. People of differing beliefs in God and nation have clashed violently here: Czech against German, Protestant against Catholic, Christian against Jew."
Industry Reviews "The power of David Wisiewski's take on the golem story lies in his remarkable cut-paper illustrations." New York Times Book Review - Susan Bolotin (11/10/1996)
"The cut-paper collages are exquisitely produced and exceedingly dramatic. There is menace and majesty in Wisniewski's use of color, and he finds atmosphere and terror in a scissor's stroke. A fact-filled final note concludes this mesmerizing book." Gunn
