Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Tonya Allen, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "More Jataka Tales" by Ellen C. Babbitt is a collection of folk tales inspired by ancient Indian literature, specifically the Jataka tales, which recount the previous lives of the Buddha in various forms, often as animals. Written in the early 20th century, this book serves as an extension to a previous compilation and is designed for children, emphasizing moral lessons through engaging stories. The tales focus on themes of friendship, wisdom, and the consequences of one’s actions, illustrating how various characters navigate challenges in their unique worlds. In this collection, readers are introduced to a variety of characters and their adventures, such as the clever Girl Monkey who steals a queen's pearls, the Three Fishes who escape a fisherman's net through teamwork, and the Brave Little Bowman who proves that physical size does not determine courage. With each story, the characters face moral dilemmas that impart lessons about greed, cunning, compassion, and the importance of using one's intellect. The engaging narratives, accompanied by delightful illustrations, make these tales not only entertaining but also educational, fostering a sense of curiosity and ethical understanding among young readers.
