This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.
This Life of Buddha is not a work of fiction, and I think it would
be well to mention the books, both ancient and modern, which I have
most frequently consulted. I have, for the most part, relied upon
the LALITA-VISTARA. This book is a jumbled collection of legends
and scholastic dissertations, and yet in these pages are preserved
many precious traditions regarding the Buddha's origin, his
childhood and his youth, and here, likewise, we are told of his
early education and of his first deeds. I have also made great use
of an excellent poem, the BUDDHACARITA of Asvaghosa. In a few of
the chapters I have repeated the lines almost word for word. The
text of the BUDDHACARITA was edited by E. B. Cowell. In the Life, I
have interpolated several JATAKAS. These are stories in which the
Buddha recalls his former lives. Some of them will be found in a
vast collection, the AVADANASATAKA.

Buddha is not a work of fiction. The author consulted many books,
both ancient and modern. He mainly relied upon the Lalita-Vistara,

used such other works as the Buddhacarita, Jatakas, Avadanasataka,

The life of the historical Buddha, as told in the Ancient Legends
of India. This charming rendition by A. Ferdinand Herold tells the
story of Buddha from the events leading to his birth, to the death

this a nice book about the Buddha to share with your child.
