"The romance between beautiful Leah of Chopski and brilliant Chonon of Klopski is literally a match made in heaven: the angels decided it forty days before they were born. Unfortunately, Leah's parents have...arranged for Leah to marry 'Mean Old Benya.'...In the slyest of East European Yiddish storytelling traditions, the angels get their way when Leah is inhabited on her wedding day by a deep-voiced dybbuk....The narrative is light and nimble, while he paintings have an airy, Chagallian humor....It's fun and funny."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
