Abstract
This edition contains some 120 or so of Shteinbarg's fables, richly illustrated with sketches and line-drawings by Nachum Gutman. For a good sample, notice the disgruntled mouse or rat on 35. Catch also the three letters of the alphabet arguing as rabbis with each other on 225. The spine cover has separated, and this book is overall highly fragile. Its paper seems dry. For comments on the stories, see the English translation, The Jewish Book of Fables: Selected Works (2003) from Syracuse University Press. There is a pasted-in photograph of Shteinbarg as frontispiece, and the cloth front cover has an embossed picture as well. Shteinbarg died in 1932, and his works were not published until after his death. Mr. Biezunski seems to indicate that this edition may be in some sense an original Hebrew edition of Shteinbarg's fables.
