"Ko imaṃ pathaviṃ vicessati, yamalokañca imaṃ sadevakaṃ.
ko dhammapadaṃ sudesitaṃ, kusalo pupphamiva pacessati"

Another version can be found on my Selected Discourses page in PDF format, and another in E-pub format on the Dhammapada page.

Printed copies with the Commentary are hard to come by. The one I have is Buddhist Legends by Eugene Watson Burlingame. The stories are in full, but the language is archaic now.
There were also hard copies printed of the Burma Pitaka Association translation linked to by santa100, but the stories are quite brief, as in my edition.
Other editions are available, but I suggest deciding in what you want by reading some digital editions before spending a significant amount of money on printed editions.
