From Library Journal
Although few verifiable facts are known about the life of the Buddha, stories have grown up around him that can be taken as fact or as idealized legend, and on these stories can be built a biography. Mitchell relies on a variety of sources, such as the Jataka Tales, the Dhammopada, and the Tripitaka, taking both biographical events and teachings and melding them into a continuous narrative. In the harmonious whole that results, it is the teachings that stand out, leaving the reader to accept or decline the biography without loss. In fact, the author terms this a "version" of the life of the Buddha; but it is a version that does justice to the most important aspect of his life: his message.
