Jataka Tales by Ellen C. Babbitt
A collection of ancient Indian moral fables in which the Buddha is reborn in many lives—often as animals or humble humans—to demonstrate virtues such as generosity, compassion, wisdom, and self-sacrifice; each tale uses vivid characters and simple plots to teach ethical lessons about karma, right action, and the rewards of moral conduct, making complex Buddhist teachings accessible through engaging, instructive stories.
