Josepha Sherman Books Overview
A Cast of Corbies
Enter once again the magical world of Mercedes Lackey’s The Lark and the Wren with the first book in the Bardic Choices series. A strange pall has settled over Alanda. Everywhere representatives of the Church seek to ferret out unauthorized magic. Throughout the lands the Free Bards are choosing to flee or fight.
Child of Faerie, Child of Earth
Percinet, half human son of a queen of Faerie, falls in love with a mortal, the daughter of a medieval count, and leaves his realm of magic to defend her against her cruel stepmother, a secret sorceress.
World Folklore for Storytellers
Here is a treasury of favorite and little known tales from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, Australia, and Oceania, gracefully retold and accompanied by fascinating, detailed information of their historic and cultural backgrounds. The introduction provides an informative overview of folklore, its purpose in world cultures and in contemporary society and popular culture. Following this, the main sections of the book are arranged by tale type, covering wonder tales, hero tales, tales of kindness repaid and hope and redemption, and finally tales of fools and wise people. Each section begins by comparing the tales cross-culturally, explaining similarities and differences in the folkloric narratives. Tales from diverse cultures are then presented, introduced, and retold in a highly readable fashion.
A Sampler of Jewish-American Folklore
Someone once observed that A Jew is composed of 28 percent fear, 2 percent sugar, and 70 percent nerve. Certainly, the Jews have needed every bit of that nerve over centuries of persecution. The struggle and triumph of Jewishness, author Josepha Sherman observes, is reflected in the vast body of Jewish folklore, which emphasizes ethical behavior and survival through cleverness, kindness, and above all, humor.
Rachel the Clever
The 46 stories in this collection are as varied as their origins Poland, Morocco, Yemen, and Spain, to name a few yet all possess a unifying element: a uniquely Jewish flavor, ‘an emphasis on doing the right thing, on surviving by cleverness and kindness and the need for keeping a good sense of humor.’
Orphans of the Night
Thirteen talented stars of the fantasy world present spine tingling, original stories of evil beings from the far corners of the globe. The ‘Orphans of the Night‘ are the terrifying, sometimes deadly, yet always fascinating creatures who lurk just out of sight, in the depths of the forest or sea or in the recesses of our own dreams.
In Celebration of Lammas Night
Protecting a small village while visiting the house of her predecessor, a young spell weaver accidentally breaks the spell that held her predecessor’s spirit and finds herself being courted by a half seen phantom of questionable intentions.
Trickster Tales
People of all ages love to watch the escapades of tricksters. In modern times, we watch Bugs Bunny, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote even Ace Ventura and Bart Simpson. But these contemporary characters have roots in antiquity. The trickster is a universal archetype, found in every culture: Anansi among the African people, Coyote in the American Southwest, Raven in the Pacific Northwest, Rabbit in the American South, the leprechaun in Ireland, Fox in South America.
Merlin’s Kin
Merlin is not alone he has kin in every corner of the world, for magicians are found among all peoples and all cultures. Stories of heroic inner strength fill popular culture, from Indiana Jones to Rocky Balboa to Superwoman. The 30 tales collected here explore the cultural origins of such characters, and the void they fill in each of us.
