12mo - 19.5 x 13.5 cm.; xvi - 267 pp. Green blue paper over boards with silver gilt lettering on spine. A selection of Jewish tales chosen so as to demonstrate that the soul's natural state is one of bliss and can be realized by 'succumbing" to the mystical tendencies that are our nature. Buxbaum is a 'maggid' living in New York City which can be a mystical experience in and of itself - or so I am told. The glossary at the back of the book allows you to sound mystical at least.
