Specially compiled for children, this collection of stories illustrates various aspects of Buddhist thought, at the same time offering many hours of lively entertainment. Whilst the tales can be enjoyed at face value, they also offer ways of exploring such concepts as generosity, compassion, and life after death, as well as reminding us of the limits of the ego and the value of a down-to-earth sense of humour.

"How can you buy the sky? How can you own the rain and the wind?" So begin the moving words attributed to a great American Indian chief - Chief Seattle - over 100 years ago. They are the words that eloquently capture the central belief of Native Americans: that this earth and every creature on it is sacred, and that man's heedless abuse of nature will lead to his own destruction. Beautifully illustrated by Susan Jeffers, this is a book much loved by adults as well as children.
