The blue jackal, the monkey, the crocodile,
the clever rabbit, the conceited lion, the foolish tiger - these are
some of the colourful characters who meet wonderful adventures and learn
the wisdom of their world in these fourteen stories selected and retold
from the ancient Panchatantra and Jataka tales of India. As they have
done for ages, they will enchant and instruct the young and entertain
the old. |
