Wise kings and queens, kind merchants, mystical monks, sorcerers, incarnate gods, and more—this book takes readers on a journey through beloved stories that have been told throughout India for thousands of years. Accompanied by vibrant illustrations, the tales here are set in sunlit halls, crystal castles, humble villages, and vast forests, representing the many wonders of India. Each story explores different aspects of ethics, such as treating strangers with kindness, respecting nature, choosing words thoughtfully, and making informed decisions when faced with difficult choices. They include both historical and spiritual figures, such as Indra (king of the devas), Siddhartha (the historical Buddha), Akbar the Great (beloved sixteenth-century ruler of India), Kabir (acclaimed mystic poet), and more.
All fourteen tales are accompanied by a summary, offering both historical context and intuitive life lessons that can be applied today. The book also includes a glossary to describe unfamiliar terms for greater understanding of the stories and their meanings.
