Written by Abraham Regelson, the poet, author, essayist and translator – a former recipient of the prestigious Brenner, Bialik and Neuman (NYU) Prizes for Hebrew literature. The Dolls’ Journey is a vintage book, treasured as a children’s classic in the memory of many veteran Israelis – among them the late songwriter Naomi Shemer, who, in a radio interview, named it her favorite childhood read. Out of print for years,
it is often mentioned on Yaron Enosh’s weekly call-in radio program “Kol Shishi” (Friday Voice). On these broadcasts, Book Hunter Itamar Levy declares, “One of my most frequently requested books!”
English translation, prologue and epilogue by the author’s daughter Sharona, who was the actual “mother of the dolls”. Original illustrations by Nahum Gutman, Aryeh Navon, Bina Gevirtz and others, from various previous editions.
The young of all ages – children, parents and grandparents alike – will relish this quality book of sheer delight.
