About this title: This story is a blend of two Jewish folktales. Leah and Chonon are fated to be together based on the legend which says that 40 days before a baby is born the angels decide whom that baby will marry. Leah's parents, unaware of the angelic plan, want their daughter to marry Benya, the most powerful man in town. Will the angels be able to ensure that Leah and Chonon are married? Gouache paintings illustrate the text.
