Originally published as a two-volume set thirty years ago, The Juniper Tree is distinguished first by the selection of stories. Lore Segal and Maurice Sendak have jointly culled 27 from
the 210 in the complete collection, and their contents page presents a fascinating critical statement. The translations are another distinguishing quality of the Segal/Sendak edition. Both translators have been painstakingly faithful to the German texts; they have not cut, “retold,” or bowdlerized. In addition, Segal and Jarrell bring to their renderings of Grimm the grace and precision that are characteristic of their own original prose. This must-have edition for every home library is jacketed and cloth-bound and has a bookmark ribbon.

Lore Segal is...one of those rare people who combine art, eccentricity, honesty, and wisdom and who, by a change of tone, an altered inflection, produce such enchanting effects that the [reader] is swept along."Chicago Tribune

The thirteen interrelated stories of Shakespeare's Kitchen concern the universal longing for friendship, how we achieve new intimacies for ourselves, and how slowly, inexplicably, we lose them. Featuring six never-before-published pieces, Lore Segal's stunning new book evolved from seven short stories that originally appeared in The New Yorker (including the O. Henry Prize-winning "The Reverse Bug").

Ilka Weisz has accepted a teaching position at the Concordance Institute, a think tank in Connecticut, reluctantly leaving her New York circle of friends. After the comedy of her struggle to meet new people, Ilka comes to embrace, and be embraced by, a new set of acquaintances, including the institute's director, Leslie Shakespeare, and his wife, Eliza. Through a series of memorable dinner parties, picnics, and Sunday brunches, Segal evokes the subtle drama and humor of the outsider's loneliness, the comfort and charm of familiar companionship, the bliss of being in love, and the strangeness of our behavior in the face of other people's deaths.

A magnificent and deeply moving work, Shakespeare's Kitchen marks the long-awaited return of a writer at the height of her powers.]]> 89781 3.63 342 90 2007 819067 0374475024 9780374475024 13 <![CDATA[Tell Me a Mitzi]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178664965m/819067.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178664965s/819067.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/819067.Tell_Me_a_Mitzi 4.44 41 </div>]]> 89781 3.63 342 90 1982 716784 1565849493 9781565849495 11 <![CDATA[Her First American: A Novel]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177606180m/716784.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177606180s/716784.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/716784.Her_First_American_A_Novel 3.81 42 First published by Knopf in 1985, Her First American is widely considered to be a modern classic. It is about the process of "naturalization," about the differences and the common ground between peoples and people. It is also about Jews and Blacks, whose experience, to quote Carter Bayoux, is parallel in the sense that two lines are parallel: running side by side but never meeting; except that this man and woman are able, for a time, to love. Wholly original, Her First American is an unforgettable novel, humorous, sad, and deeply moving.

Nine months after Hitler takes Austria, a ten-year-old girl leaves Vienna aboard a children's transport that is to take her and several hundred children to safety in England. For the next seven years she lives in "other people's houses," the homes of the wealthy Orthodox Jewish Levines, the working-class Hoopers, and two elderly sisters in their formal Victorian household. An insightful and witty depiction of the ways of life of those who gave her refuge, Other People's Houses is a wonderfully memorable novel of the immigrant experience.

Segal depicts their circle with a perfect blend of love and malice. And at the center is Lucinella herself, so full of humanity and frailty that these divertissements do her to death. “Here,” as Cynthia Ozick says, “is the enchanted microcosm, the laughter of mortality.”]]> 89781 3.63 342 90 1976 450374 0374350639 9780374350635 0 <![CDATA[Morris the Artist]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174876899m/450374.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174876899s/450374.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/450374.Morris_the_Artist 5.00 2 You’re invited to a birthday party!

This is more than a royal family can bear, so they gather all the creatures of the sky, including bees, gnats, and other flying insects, to fight the bear and all the four-legged creatures that he's summoned for battle. Fortunately, the bird king is more clever than the opposition and comes up with a plan to foil his enemy and therefore avoid an all-out war.

Once there was a Mole who lived with his Grandmother Mole in a hole in the forest, and most of the time they got on well enough. But then there was the time Mole wouldn't share with Little Gopher, the time Mole ate all the chocolate chip cookies, the time Mole walked off with the whole bag of pretzels, and the time when Mole wouldn't let Grandmother Mole have a nice talk on the telephone.

In four engaging encounters, with detailed line-and-watercolor pictures, Little Mole does the things little moles will always do and grandmothers will forever try to stop them from doing.
