Buddhist Folk Tales is a wonderful collection of ancient and modern stories from the Buddhist tradition.From short, snappy tales to longer narratives, they will entertain and tantalise the emotions.Laugh, sigh and cry at stories about previous lives, why the Monkey King wanted to be Master of the Universe, the grimace that comes with the phrase ‘out of the mouths of babes’, and ever-endearing mother love. This is a book to treasure, and read time and again.
