Rating: 4 out of 5

This book provides an imaginative glimpse into one of the oldest societies on Earth... one with a rich, diverse and extraordinary history that has captivated people all over the world (including me) for thousands of years. These eternal legends were written at the beginning of human civilization and are rife with moral messages and stories that still bear significance today, providing a wondrous re-imagining of them in the form of "Sacred Tales: Short Stories from Ancient India". The stories not only entertain, but they also instruct. Each story has a moral which teaches us how to lead a better life and points out the course of action to be taken. The stories are well written, vivid, rich in detail and infinitely compelling. I found the whole collection to be a wonderful and creative glimpse into the Indian culture as well as into the human psyche and moral compass. Overall, the collection was well worth the read and I would certainly recommend it to other readers.
