This entertaining collection of folklore from what
is now Israel/Palestine was written at the start of the 20th century.
It contains an even mix of Moslem, Christian and Jewish lore; often a given
tale will draw from multiple traditions, and sometimes it is hard to
distinguish a point of view.
Of special interest are the stories of the Jinn, magical 
beings that correspond to the European fairies, the accounts of folk-magic,
and folklore from all three religions about biblical topics.
