The “Adaptations from The Jatakas” series Combining conflict and comedy, worldly wisdom and wit; the Jataka Tales are a collection of over 500 ancient parables that may date as far back as the 5th century BC. They share the humourous elements which give Aesop’s Fables, Persia’s Nasruddin stories, and the Anansi stories of Africa such timeless appeal. “THE BRAHMIN, THE TIGER AND THE JACKAL” is the first of an upcoming series of selected Jataka stories being reinterpreted for younger audiences.
