The Jataka tales is an essential part of Indian folk literature. The tales refer to a voluminous body of literature concerning the previous births (jati) of the Buddha. The two stories in this volume are based on these tales of two incarnations of Bodhisattva. The stories are about simple ordinary men who overcame difficulties with their wit, wisdom and courage and became an inspiration for others. The stories are retold here in simple language and illustrated with colorful pictures to capture the interest of children. These stories, with rich moral, are aimed to inspire children and adults alike.
