The King and the Noble Stag and Other Stories

Jataka Tales are among the oldest stories still told today, passed down through generations as accounts of the Buddha's past incarnations. This collection continues that tradition, gathering tales built around values such as self-sacrifice, honesty, patience and compassion. Part of the 15 Classic Tales Jataka Tales Series, it offers young readers stories where wisdom, rather than plot alone, is the point of the telling.
