SHEDLOCK, MARIE L. Eastern stories and legends. *$2 Dutton 294
20–18410
An enlarged edition of a collection of stories of the Buddha published in 1910, now issued with a foreword by T. W. Rhys Davids and an introduction by Annie Carroll Moore. “In India, Prof. Davids tells us, crowds may be seen listening all night long to these tales. There are many hundreds of them from which Miss Shedlock has selected only a few, and of these we are assured that their appeal to an audience never fails. She has told them again and again, and Miss Moore, of the New York Public Library, adds her conviction of their admirable suitability for telling.”—Boston Transcript
