About this book

A boy's tender love for the daughter of his brother, a girl his age. Shimek's shyness is so acute he can only communicate his heart by noting the ways of nature and quoting from the biblical "Song of Songs." First English translation of an illustrated 1910 novel evoking the lost world of Eastern European Jewry.
