Book Description
Premiered by the Traverse Theatre at the 1991 Edinburgh Festival and also to be staged at the Hampstead Theatre, London, this play arose from the extended visit John Clifford made to India. The play opens with the goddess Kali addressing the audience in a broad Scots accent and moves on to present a parable about a poor Indian family and their corrupt masters - one of whom seeks to bring light to the village by harnessing it to the electricity grid, but whose attitude to his underlings is the opposite of enlightenment.

Book Description
An adventurous story of a frontier boy raised by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic. When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania frontier and adopted by the great warrrior Cuyloga. Renamed True Son, he came to think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape, has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including fifteen-year-old True Son. Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to him as the ways of the forest are to them.

Book Description
Early Reviews - "In the spirit of Sholem Aleichem… These stories of identical twins, confused from birth, will charm with their simplicity and sincerity." – AudioFile Life in The Village is rarely quiet or uneventful, but after The Village Twins are born, everything gets even crazier. "…a good story very well told" – The Jewish Independent Rebecca and Jacob Schlemiel are looking forward to their first child, but the delivery of Abraham and Adam throws them both for a loop. These boys are so identical that their parents, teachers and eventually their wives can't tell them apart. To be honest, until their fifth birthday they weren't totally sure which was who. The Village Twins is a comedy set in a place you'd love to visit and a past that never existed. You'll meet all the members of the community, who come together to raise this unruly duo. Adam is the troublemaker who loves to create elaborate pranks. Abraham is quieter and usually takes the blame for his brother's misadventures. As teens, they both fall in love with Rosa Kalderash, a wandering princess. This might have worked out, but the Russian army is looking for Adam, who falls in love with Rivka Cantor, the merchant's daughter, who thinks he's Abraham.… Confused? Imagine how they felt. The Village Twins will make you laugh and smile, and perhaps shed a tear. It's is a delicious and exciting novel of confused identities told in delicious bite-sized chapters. You won't want to put it down, but if you do, you will come back to it again and again… At last, one of the very first ebooks is restored to its full glory. The Village Twins is a book to savor. It's a timeless book that resonates in today's fast-paced digital society. More Early Reviews "…it's clear from the start that there is nothing factual about this book, which traces the lives of the Schlemiel family and the community that surrounds them. [Readers] will really get the humor written between the lines.… the mix-ups are many and the potential for laughter abundant" —Jewish Book World "Wired Words/Electric Prose" – Providence Phoenix "Schlemiels in cyberspace… old-fashioned storytelling in a newfangled way." —The Providence Journal "Laughing out loud humor… very poignant and sweet" —Jewish Herald Voice, Houston, TX
