The Megillah ("The Scroll of Esther") tells the story of Purim, but many of the details appear only in the Talmud and Midrash. For the story behind the story, one must look beyond the text of the Megillah to the oral tradition handed down through the generations by the Sages.
"The Complete Story of Purim," published by Kehot Publication Society, is a comprehensive anthology of the fascinating Talmudic and Midrashic background to the Megillah. Divided in Chapters with matching images, "The Complete Story of Purim," takes you on a fascinating journey.
