""A marvellous introductory text, well-organized and clearly written. The renditions of stories are readable and engaging."" --Edward T. Gilday, Bowdoin College. ""A delicious repast of stories, delightfully told and intended to satisfy our narrative appetites and nourish our moral sensibilities. Drawing upon tales from the Hindu epics, the Pancatantra, Puranas, Jatakas, Nikayas, and other texts, the authors provide translations and summaries of stories illustrating fundamental Hindu and Buddhist values and attitudes." |
