Summary: Humorous wisdom from an Ancient Indian sage
Comment: This is a fine collection of highly entertaining and educational stories from Ancient India. It is the most widely read Indian classic, translated into more than 50 languages. It has influenced The Arabian Nights, the Decameron, The Canterbury Tales and most notably in The Fables of La Fontaine. First told at least 1500 years ago by the sage Vishnu Sharma to three backward princes in an Indian king's court (who after hearing these tales became "as wise as the king of the gods"), its morals and messages are as relevant today as they were then.

Krishna Dharma tells the stories in his usual lucid style, throwing in a few poems here and there. It is illustrated with line drawings and should be easily handled by any free reading child and is a good read for any adult still young at heart -- particularly those wanting to hone up on a bit of worldly wisdom
