Description   There has never been another town like Chelm.  The people who lived there thought they knew everything.  But did they?  Would you wear your hat upside down to keep it dry when it rains?  Would you go barefoot in the snow so your shoes wouldn't get wet? There are so many hilarious stories about this city where only fools lived.  And this is the story about how it all began. Chelm is an actual town in Poland, located southeast of Lublin and dating from the Middle Ages.  No one knows why its inhabitants have for centuries been the subject of humorous Yiddish folktales about the slow-witted and endearingly silly "wise men and women of Chelm."  Equally mysterious is the origin of the traditional legend about an angel spilling a bag of foolish souls over the town.   Hardcover 21 pages Color illustrations Size 9" x 11.25" - 22cm x 28.5cm
