Excellent rendition of Buddha's life story

A happy 3-hour read. A useful and interesting retelling of Buddha's life story which addresses most of the major events. A good introductory book to savor.

Absolutely Terrific Book!

Finally! A Life Story of Buddha in simple, elegant story form. Kherdian tells the story of Siddharta's life - from young prince to enlightened Buddha - without the inscrutable mythology found in every other book about the Enlightened One. If you've ever been curious about Buddha - where he came from and how he came to be - this is the book for you. This book belongs in every library, and every school in the country.
