Non-Fiction Memoir
The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness is that rare,
magical book—a book that tells a good story but also shows
us how the tales we learned when we were children shed
light on our adult lives. Joel ben Izzy had the unusual
opportunity to relive those lessons when he lost his voice
and reconnected with his old teacher, Lenny, a retired
storyteller. Through his meetings with Lenny, Joel
rediscovers the wisdom of ancient tales and takes us on a
journey into a world of beggars and kings, monks and
tigers, lost horses and buried treasures—and in the end
tells us the secret of happiness.
