This classic book contains the life of Prince Gautama Buddha, told in verse by Sir Edwin Arnold. Greatly inspiring and moving, this work was one of the first to introduce Europeans to Buddhism, and will still prove to be a fascinating and enlightening read today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
