BOOKS

Perhaps the most distinctive fea-
ture of Amelie Rives' new book OF
pocmy "As the Wind Blew" is the
delightful Babylonisn love story of
BeIanu and Iltani. which occupies
sixty-odd pages OF the volume. 1t
is series OF love letters, in prose
and verse, passing between a Ba-
bylonian poet and his sweetheart,
unfolding romance of original
fire, color and beauty, with many
touches OF understanding humor at
tho ways of lovers. The modern
Bclanu who would tell mis- Iltani
how he loves her. could do no bet
ter than to learn from this poet
lover. obviously the author be
lieves that lltanis were very much
the same in ancient Babylon as
they are today. "As the Wind
Blew" is published by the stokes
company.
Some of the stories in THE Jew
ish Fairy Book" compiled and
adapted by Gerald Friedlander and
just published by Stokes, are prob
ably over thirty centuries old in
their origin. 1t is commentary on
the unchangcableness of human ma
ture that these folk tales have the
same vitality and charp, today as
when told around the camp fires s'of
the children of Israel on their, jour
ney through the wilderness. The
chief sources OF the material rep
resented in this book are the Tai
mud. the Alaphabet OF Ren Sera,
Tanchuma, Beth Hammidrash and
the Jewish Chap Book.
