A fascinating memoir of one of Judaism’s earliest female writers, translated from the original Yiddish Glückel of Hameln was a marvel of her time: an accomplished businesswoman as well as the mother of twelve. Devastated by the death of her beloved husband in 1689, she proceeded to write the riveting memoir that would become a timeless classic, revealing much about Jewish life in seventeenth-century Germany.This volume also features an introduction by translator Beth-Zion Abrahams that provides a fuller background of the author's life and tells how Glückel came to write the memoir that would provide insight for centuries to come into Jewish, European, and women’s history.Glückel (1646–1724) was born to a prominent family in Hamburg, Germany. At the age of fourteen, she was married to a wealthy gems dealer in an arranged marriage and became his business and financial adviser while bearing and raising their twelve children. She continued to manage his enterprises even after his death in 1689, until her second husband, a successful banker, lost all their money, and her life ended in near poverty.

In growing seasons, Hameln Dwarf Fountain Grass emerges in a soft, plushy mound that harkens to water droplets in a fountain, which is how this lovely ornamental received its common name. The narrow, shamrock-green blades arch outward and lend the grass its signature shapely form. In late summer, thick bottle-brush flower spikes appear in silver and rose tones. Dwarf Fountain Grass is the perfect accent with color and texture that stands alone and subtly complements neighboring companion plants. Hameln Dwarf Fountain Grass, botanical name Pennisetum alopecuroides Hameln, is widely adaptable, easily flourishing in USDA zones 4-11 in either full sun or shade. It reaches a height and spread of 18 in. to 30 in. The foliage is a medium green that turns a coppery tan in autumn, with colorful pinkish-white flower spikes. Its soft feathery texture is often overlooked, yet never goes unappreciated by gardeners after planting this compact ornamental. The balance of contrasting texture and color makes Hameln Dwarf Fountain Grass an ideal variety to complement all other plants and fill open ground spaces in a garden.
