The light of Asia : being the life and teaching of… by Sir Edwin Arnold
This is the story of Siddharta, told in blank verse. It is lovely to read with beautiful imagery. My only complaint is that often Sir Edward would use words that are unknown in English, so that a glossary or notes would be helpful. Overall, however, it is an enjoyable experience to read this book.

The light of Asia : or The great renunciation,… by Sir Edwin Arnold
Long narrative poem from 1879 by the English author Edwin Arnold, retelling the traditional life story of the Buddha. Mostly of interest as an example of how westerners perceived and approached Buddhism in the nineteenth century. With an introduction by Sangharakshita of the FWBO.
