| Before the age of television and computer, the chief source of entertainment for children used to be the stories told by their grandparents. After dinner, the children would surround one of the elderly people to listen to different stories that not only entertained but also inculcated moral and spiritual values into their lives.

There is a huge amount of material amusement but very little moral instruction.

Difficult concepts can be easily conveyed through stories and their message ingrained in the heart of the listeners.

Prior to this collection, "Journey into Jainism" has also been published and well received by readers of all ages......
