I really liked this, though one thing that bothered me was how the book was introduced as a translation of some ancestral letters found by Ethan Hawke, yet many of the moral stories included were direct adaptations of Eastern fables and moral tales. I felt that it was the author's responsibility to disclaim that at the beginning, because not until after I read it and did some research did I realize that Hawke was merely inspired by the letters and chose to create a collection of stories for his children gathered from various sources.

Still, it was well written and enjoyable, and no matter what the source these stories all contained wonderful lessons.
