Chelm is a village of fools. The most famous fools--the oldest and the greatest--are the seven Elders. But there are lesser fools too: a silly irresponsible bridegroom; four sisters who mix up their feed in bed one night; a young man who imagines himself dead. Here are seven magical folktales spun by a master storyteller, that speak of fools, devils, schlemiels, and even heroes--like Zlateh the goat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e called \u003cem\u003eZlateh the Goat and Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, \"beautiful stories for children, written by a master.\" \u003cem\u003eThe New York Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e said, \"This book is a triumph.
