This collection of stories is based upon tales told by
the Buddha to his monks 2,500 years ago. Isabel Wyatt’s enchanting
retelling conjures up a rich world of Eastern legend, ruled by courtly
kings and sages and populated by brave princes, faithful elephants, and
cunning monkeys. The stories tell of great adventures and heroes, of
danger and courage, and, most important, of how wisdom and
thoughtfulness always triumph over selfishness and greed.
The Eight-Year-Old Legend Book
was compiled for children around the age of eight—children who are
embarking increasingly on their own adventures in life and learning to
become smart and courageous.
