520 1  "The tales of Kalila and Dimna, also known as The 
       Panchatantra, Kalila wa Dimna and The Fables of Bidpai, 
       originated around two thousand years ago. These charming 
       and humorous stories about animals have since found their 
       way, in one form or another, into the folklore of every 
       major culture and tradition." "What links the fables is 
       the core message about managing power, wise leadership and
       the value of true friendship." "In his retelling of Kalila
       and Dimna, Ramsay Wood deftly knits several oral 
       storytelling traditions into a captivating literary style.
       This version from all major ancient texts is the first new
       compendium in English since 1570. Young and old alike will
       treasure these beautifully illustrated tales."--Book
