Golem

A saintly rabbi miraculously brings to life a clay giant who helps him watch over the Jews of sixteenth-century Prague. Retold from traditional sources and accompanied by masterful cut-paper illustrations. "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." -- Kirkus Reviews, pointer
