Panchatantra, India's famous collection of fables has enthralled audiences for centuries. Full of humour, wit and wisdom, the tales combine artfully to convey basic life lessons. These fabulous stories, originally imported by a sage to three young princes, all illustrate that knowing how to use knowledge is more important than knowledge itself. The only non-scholarly version available, it is elegantly crafted and simple to read. Both younger readers and adults will enjoy this vivid retelling of Panchatantra.
"There is plenty to discuss about dilemmas confronted, actions taken, things said, by the various characters as well as what the children might have thought, said or done in similar circumstances." -- Angela Redfern, School Librarian, Vol. 53, Number 2, Summer 2005.
