Description: The book is a Buddhist collection of fairy tales, fables, riddles, comics, and moral stories said to be narrated by Buddha during his lifetime. In the Buddhist orthodox belief, Buddha, throughout his lifetime, used to explain and comment on the events happening around him by telling stories of similar events that occurred in his previous births. After his demise, his disciples preserved these commentaries and stories in "The Book of 550 Jatakas" or Births. Thus, this book contains these birth stories (Jatakas) in India as well as the migration of these stories to the West.
