The wedding that saved a town by Yale Strom

According to tradition, a wedding between two orphans in a cemetery can cause a miracle to happen. The cholera-filled town of Pinsk is in need of such a miracle, so they've got a dress, a cake, and a wedding dinner prepared for the orphan bride . . . but it's up to Yiske, the klezmer, to find a suitable groom! A cute story with beautiful illustrations.
