Book Reviews of The Jatakas: Birth Stories of the Bodhisatta (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Excellent collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This book offers an excellent selection of the Buddha's birth stories, Jatakas, that is, stories of his earlier lives. The translation is good and the introductions helpful. A complete translation would be desirable, but this is a first-rate selection. It is really too bad that Penguin has let it go out of print.
