- Abstract
- en_US I have done long work with this book, which strikes me as a very enjoyable and balanced presentation of good story material. It is divided into three major sections: Panchatantra, Hitopadesa, and Jatakas. This would be a book worth rereading before dealing with something like Kalila and Dimna. The introduction distinguishes between fablers (creators) and fabulists (retellers); Aesop turns out to be the latter, not the former. The versions here have been combined and have been--except for one example--extricated from many-layered nestings. The illustrations are quite simple, but the stories are wonderful!
