| Book Description | If you know the answer and do not respond, your head will shatter into pieces! In a land of glorious kings, bloodthirsty demons and talking spirits, was born the lore of Vikram and the vetal. After a series of mysterious events, King Vikramaditya carries the vetal, a witty ghost, on a long journey through death s playground. The vetal narrates the most fascinating tales and asks the most puzzling riddles, leaving Vikram completely stumped. Deepa Agarwal s beautiful translation brings age-old wisdom alive through the vetal s wondrous stories that are bound to confound and captivate readers even today. |
