Long ago I was captivated by the charm of the Jataka Tales and realized the excellent use that might be made of them in the teaching of children.

TThe Jatakas, or Birth-stories, form one of the sac-red books of the Buddhists and relate to the adventures of the Buddha in his former existences, the best character in any story being identified with the Master.
