Tales from the Jatakas: Classic indian Stories

About the BookANCIENT TALES, TIMELESS WISDOM AND MODERN RETELLING.

Each tale is a reminder of the kindness, courage and wisdom that we can carry into our daily lives. These are perennial tales reimagined for the present day, with wisdom as relevant today as when the Buddha first spoke the words that birthed this lore.
