Kalila & Dimna: Fantastic Fables for all Ages - Paperback
by Munther a. Younes (Editor), Robert Prejean (Illustrator), Jamese Huynh (Editor)
Enter the spell-binding world of two jackals, Kalila and Dimna, and their animal friends and enemies as they transport you through wonderful adventures and prickly predicaments. These animal and human characters are clever and doltish, fortunate and hapless, diligent and indolent, simple-minded and cunning, avaricious and magnanimous, and everything in between. The highly influential stories in this simplified version are easy enough for children to understand yet valuable enough for adults to appreciate. In the last couple of centuries several versions of these fables have been published in English. However they have been mostly geared towards an adult audience or are written in antiquated English. This version you have before you is written in simplified modern English. Although originally written in a Chinese box style of inter-connected fables this particular version is unique in that most of the stories are stand-alone. Imbibe the wisdom of the ages in this magical book of fables.
