Twenty Jataka Tales (Pilgrims) – Noor Inayat

AIthough the backdrop of Jataka stories is often make-believe, they often offer the scholars, students and enthusiasts of Eastern philosophy, religion and art form, enthralling insights into the psyche and spirit of Buddhism and Buddhist traditions.
Long before a direct contact was made with India, Christian Europe had heard many of these Indian stories and made them part of its heritage. Therefore, they will not appear strange or perplexing and will prove extremely useful in telling the readers of the mysterious ways in which right and wrong can manifest themselves in everyday life.
Charmingly told and full of meaning, these short Jataka tales will entertain both young and old. The stories, which are exquisitely illustrated, will appeal particularly to children.
The Monkey Bridge, The Patient Buffalo, The End Of the World, The Quarrelsome Quails, and others; each short story has its moral to tell.
“The Jataka tales contain deep truths, and are calculated to impress lessons of great moral beauty…”
