About the Author:
Jacob Bloom is a man of many interests, ranging from dance, which is an important part of his life, to storytelling and woodworking. He leads contra, square dances, and klezmer dance, has taught Morris dance, and researches and teaches dances of the American colonial and early Federal periods. He is always eager to learn new styles of dance. Some of the dances he's choreographed-both contra and Morris dances have been published. As a storyteller, he enjoys telling traditional Jewish tales and stories that seem "almost real." As a woodworker, he enjoys building furniture and repairing sundry articles.

Before any of his special interests, Bloom is a family man who loves his wife, Nancy, and their three wonderful children, Julia, Michael, and Shira. The poems contained in Tales of King Arthur and His Knights were written over many months for Michael, who wanted to hear more about the King Arthur stories.
