Publisher's summary

Jataka Tales is a compilation of stories from an ancient collection of famous legends about the former lives of the Buddha on his long road to enlightenment. Suggestive of Aesop, these beloved fables are fragments of epics and hero tales arising from deep in the collective Indian past. They present challenging circumstances for humans and animals alike, events which elicit courage and the capacity to love.

Centered in one of the world's oldest cities on the Ganges River, these delightful stories tell of dramatic adventures resolved by nonviolent, compassionate means and of acts of sacrifice inspired by the noble example of others.

Beautiful tales, poor production of them

The tales are wonderful. Too bad the production company didn’t create a quality recording. Voice narration and music frequently clash making it difficult to understand the reading. And even when there’s no music the narration audio could have been made a lot clearer. Still, happy to have heard these tales.
