Unsold
The Aberdeen Jew, by Allen Junior. London, 1927. Illustrations by Gregor McGregor.
Booklet with jokes about a Jew living in Aberdeen (called "the Granite City, in Scotland). It is said, that people believe that there are no Jews in Aberdeen at all, but in fact there is a Jew by the name of Isaac Levi, who sometimes presents himself as Donald McSforn and wears a Scotish kilt. This Levi was arrested in the past by the police, and is under its supervision. The text continues in a humoristic style, that Levi tells many stories against his own people, alike other Jews, and that this booklet brings these stories.
36 pages, 22 cm. Good condition. Last page partly detached from booklet.
