About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of More Jataka Tales by Ellen C. Babbitt. Read in English by Anastasiia Solokha; Huda; Jill Engle; KathleenLarberg; Kimberly Krause; rookieblue; Roshna Omer; Susan Morin The continued success of the "Jataka Tales," as retold and published ten years ago, has led to this second and companion volume. Who that has read or told stories to children has not been lured on by the subtle flattery of their cry for "more"? The Jataka tales, regarded as historic in the Third Century B. C., are the oldest collection of folk-lore extant. They come down to us from that dim far-off time when our forebears told tales around the same hearth fire on the roof of the world. (Summary by Ellen C. Babbitt)
