The Jataka tales are a veritable treasure of Indian folklors, legend and fable. Each time these popular stories are told, they acquire a new colour and fresh dimension. Besides being entertaining, the Jataka tales give us invaluable information about ancient Indian civilization, culture and philosophy.
The Jataka tales recount the stories of the previous incarnations of Boddhisattva before he became the Buddha, or the enlightened one. The Boddhisattva came in many forms - man, monkey, elephant, lion, deer etc. What- ever his mortal form, in each story, the Boddhi- sattva spread the message of justice and wis- dom. The present collection includes a selec- tion of fascinating animal tales on the theme of courage.
