Golem, story and pictures by David Wisniewski, Clarion Books, 1996.
A Caldecott Medal book\"Some four hundred years ago, according to legend, a revered Jewish teacher and scholar, Rabbi Lowe, shaped a giant man of clay - a golem- and brought him to life. The golem\'s task was to vanquish those who persecuted the Jews of Prague, and he performed it almost too well.
Retold from traditional sources and accompanied by masterly cut-paper illustrations, Golem is a dramatic tale of supernatural forces invoked to save an oppressed people. It offers a thought-provoking look at the consequences of unleashing power beyond human control.\"Pages are tight, clean and unmarked. Good dust jacket.
