From the Books of Nine Lives series by award-winning author, Pleasant DeSpain.

The people of every culture and country tell tales of wisdom and justice. Wisdom tales remind us of the value of human experience, and that where there is wisdom, there is usually justice. These tales remind us fairness is necessary if we are to continue to live together as human beings. These tales represent many cultures and countries from around the world.

You'll find ten tales of wisdom and justice, including: "Pandora's Box" from Ancient Greece, "Señor Coyote, the Judge" from Mexico, "The Wisdom of Solomon" from Israel, and "The Golden Pitcher" from Mongolia.
