Written in Kashmir around 400 CE, Haribhatta’s Jåtakamåla is a remarkable example of classical Sanskrit literature in a mixture of…
prose and verse that for centuries was known only in its Tibetan translation. But between 1973 and 2004 a large portion of the Sanskrit original was rediscovered in a number of anonymous manuscripts. With this volume Peter Khoroche offers the most complete translation to date, making almost 80 percent of the work available in English. Haribhatta’s Jåtakamålå is a sophisticated and personal adaptation of popular stories, mostly non-Buddhist in origin, all illustrating the future Buddha’s single-minded devotion to the good of all creatures, and his desire, no matter what his incarnation—man, woman, peacock, elephant, merchant, or king—to assist others on the path to nirvana. Haribhatta’s insight into human and animal behavior, his astonishing eye for the details of landscape, and his fine descriptive powers together make this a unique record of everyday life in ancient India as well as a powerful statement of Buddhist ethics. This translation will be a landmark in the study of Buddhism and of the culture of ancient India.The Last Snake in Ireland: A Story About St. Patrick

LONG AGO, Ireland was plagued by snakes, snakes, and more snakes! They crawled through the crowds, hissed in the homes,…
and slithered through the streets. Something had to be done, so Patrick rang a snake call on his magic bell and sent all the snakes in the land to faraway places. All the snakes, that is, except for one -the biggest, sneakiest snake in all of Ireland. Detailed in Sheila MacGill-Callahan's colorful, lilting language, a battle of wills ensues between the soon-to-be saint and the sly serpent. And although man finally triumphs over beast, this vexed viper may have a surprise of his own that Patrick - and the world - will never forget!
