- Abstract
- en_US After an introduction, there are thirty-four Jataka stories here. This book was a pleasant find during a delightful afternoon of book-hunting with Gert-Jan van Dijk as we played hookey from the Renard Conference in Utrecht. The books had to be shipped to me in Heidelberg, but that was fine. Like most good editions of Jataka stories these days, the authors work from Cowell's English edition of Jataka stories done in London in 1956. The illustrations are delightful. Might they be watercolors? A quick favorite is The Fish and the Turtle (18-19). The fish looking at itself in the mirror on 19 is excellent! Die Apenbrug is another beautifully pictured -- and well known -- Jataka. The monkey who forms a bridge with his body is well depicted on 54. Again, the two not-smart fish caught in the net on 79 tell the story beautifully. Both illustrations for TT on 114 and 116 are again beautifully done. This is a very sturdy book!
