Vikram and the Vampire records the adventures of the legendary king Vikram and his battles of wit with a baital, a vampire that inhabits the dead. While each tale teaches a lesson on humanity, the book will delight those who love stories of the supernatural.
This classic collection of eleven stories is expertly translated from the ancient Sanskirt epic Baital-Pachisi by Sir Richard R. Burton, whose intimate knowledge of the ways of India preserves the spirit of the original.
