Stories of the Buddha contains 47 selected tales collected from the original Jatakas, translated into English to make the teachings of Buddha alive in the minds of modern readers and scholars associated with Buddhism.

Jatakas is one of the three-fold Pali Buddhist Canon or Pitakas. It contains around 550 stories from previous births of Buddha, both in human and animal forms. This illustrates the spiritual practices, acts, qualities, and personality of Buddha. The Jataka stories narrate how Buddha plays the role of an intermediator, and gives a happy ending. Jatakas also narrate how to achieve Buddha-hood and narrates the story within the framework of Karma and rebirth. Jatakas were translated into many modern European and Indic languages such as German, Hindi, etc.

C.A.F. Rhys Davids (1857-1942) was a Pali scholar and the honorary secretary of the Pali Text Society from 1907, and its president from 1923 to 1942. She was educated at University College, London.
