This is a wonderful collection of medieval Jain folktales that playfully explore life, love, and the Jain path. The tales are entertaining but, in the tradition of good folk tales, also meant to teach virtues and good character. They also give insights into medieval Indian society and culture. This collection gives wonderful insight into the vibrancy of Jain storytelling and a window into a religion that to many may seem very austere and severe. Highly Recommended!
