Summary: "In this book Maurice Samuel tells of a pilgrimage through Sholom Aleichem's world, visiting the townlets and villages of the famous Pale of Settlement, recouting the adventures of the chief characters in the works of Sholom Aleichem, and recreating the folklore, the outlook, and the memories that were in part transplanted to America. To Jews and non-Jews the book is a remarkable revelation of a great man and an extraordinary civilization, now all but extinct." - Dust jacket
