Abstract: en_US Twenty-nine tales with eight striking silhouette illustrations (the best on 35 and 73). The book is in good condition. The tales have a standard beginning: Once upon a time when Brahmadatta was King in Benares.... I took detailed notes on these stories. New and good: The Rash Magician (25), The Stupid Monkeys (70), The Foolhardy Jackal (110), The Monkey's Heroic Self-Sacrifice (182), and The Lost Charm (192). I miss here the snap of ingenuity, surprise, or congruence between conflict and resolution that characterizes fables--and Jatakas?--at their best.
