By Caren Schnur Neile with Foreword by Dan Ben-Amos
“Through her dedicated scholarship, compelling performances and irresisti-ble charm, Peninnah Schram single-handedly revived the Jewish oral story-telling tradition in America. This touching, intimate biography offers an album of vivid anecdotes conjured from Schram’s recollections. Like Penin-nah’s name, it is a precious string of pearls.”— Ellen Frankel, author, The Five Books of Miriam, former editor-in-chief of the Jewish Pub-lication Society
“Caren Neile waves a magic wand over interviews with the much-loved doyenne of Jewish storytelling, transforming them into story: scenes rendered in sharp prose that make the events walk right off the page into the reader’s heart. Peninnah’s World uses a novelist’s technique to recreate Pen-innah Schram as vividly as if she had stepped out of a Jewish version of Lit-tle Women.” — Steve Zeitlin, author, The Poetry of Everyday Life: Storytelling and the Art of Awareness
“This nimble biographical writing offers an authentic view into the inner and outer worlds of one of our most im-portant contemporary storytellers. Peninnah’s World is a compelling reading experience, rich with intimacy and vivid dialogue. Neile’s illumination of Peninnah’s artistic journey to becoming an esteemed leader in her field is inspiring and adds pivotal detail to stories of the early days of the American storytelling renaissance.” — Heather Forest, storyteller, author, Wisdom Tales From Around the World
Peninnah’s World is the biography-in-stories of the iconic Jewish storyteller and folklorist Penin-nah Schram. In vivid scenes, it dramatizes Schram’s trajectory from brilliant daughter of Orthodox immi-grant parents in New London, Connecticut, to acclaimed performer, teacher, scholar and colleague of lu-minaries including Elie Wiesel, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Molly Picon.
