The Honest King and Other Stories by D.R. Tara  is book 4 in the ‘Illustrated Moral Stories for Children’ series. As with the three fantastic books before it, The Honest King is a collection of stories that conveys life lessons to kids of a certain age group. The series progression is evident in this collection as the author introduced new stories that are still age-appropriate, but with a little more complex themes and characters. Concepts of meditation, death, jealousy, and immortality shine through in the stories. It’s quite a fantastic read seeing more stories that somehow break away from the usual children’s book mold.Kids and parents alike will definitely enjoy the illustrations as they represent the characters accurately, giving the kids the right visuals to complement the stories. This way, they wouldn’t have to guess what the characters look like.The stories combine elements of Eastern and Western cultures, which is a good way to introduce children to new cultures and values.
