'A wonderful read! A topic too often neglected and brought to light with drama, sensitivity and rigorous scholarship. Essential for a full understanding of the contemporary Jewish world.' Harry Freedman, author of Shylock's Venice ‘The Jewish Pedlar tells the riveting story of Jacob Harris, whose turbulent life became the stuff of legends and ballads. It also challenges any idea you may have had about what a Jew is or can be.’ Miri Rubin, author of Cities of Strangers 'The Jewish pedlar not only provides an illuminating viewpoint of this overlooked part of British history but is also engaging to read. It uncovers the various threads with a scholarly balance that neither sensationalises nor falls prey to nostalgia. Tony Kushner's refreshing approach widens the scope for subjective stories to emerge while providing the important wider context.' Mia Spiro, Senior Lecturer in Modern Jewish Culture and Holocaust Studies, University of Glasgow -- .
