Description
Twenty Jataka Tales by Noor Inayat Khan presents twenty famous legends from the former lives of the Buddha, showcasing people and animals moved to acts of sacrifice by the noble example of their fellow creatures.
The tales convey subtle yet powerful lessons, reminiscent of Aesop's fables, in a simplified narrative that maintains the magical beauty of their Far Eastern origins. They are ideal for reading aloud to children, telling dramatic adventures resolved by non-violent and compassionate means.
Challenging circumstances bring forth courage and the capacity to love, opening the way to solutions against seemingly impossible odds. The book is also notable for its exquisite illustrations by H. Willebeek Le Mair.
