The four thousand year history of this city of stone is evoked in an engaging, poetic narrative. Lavishly illustrated with colored woodcut images, the account features the city itself, rather than its inhabitants, from a primarily Jewish perspective. (Ages 5-12)

Evokes the spirit of an ancient city, recalling David, Nebuchadnezzer, Herod, Hadrian, Constantine, Saladin, Sulieman, and the many groups who came to conquer; and observes that despite 3000 years of being battered, burned, and rebuilt, Jerusaleum shines peacefully in the moonlight.
