School for Princes: Stories from the Panchatantra

A king seeks help to teach his reckless sons to become sensible young men. A wise man promises to reform them in six weeks by sharing cautionary tales featuring animals like a proud hare, an owl, or a crow. These fables, part of the Panchatantra collection familiar across Asia, were originally narrated and later documented in Sanskrit over 2,000 years ago. Author Jamila Gavin revitalizes these stories for contemporary readers by weaving the tales of the wise man and the princes around the classic fables, creating a fresh and impactful rendition of this ancient Indian work.
