Note: This review ran without a byline but was accompanied by Ida Nasatir's
photo.
There have been, within the last few years, a
handful of simply-written books about Theodor Herzl, intended for young readers.
Although Nina Baker's well-weritten volume offers nothing that is new, it
manages to capture the excitement of Herzl's search for a Jewish homeland.
Thewre is at the end of the book, a good description of Herzl's recent reburial
in Israel. Next Year in Jerusalem should make interesting material
for young readers.
