Description
This story turns chiefly on a great king named Vikram, the King Arthur of the East, who in pursuance of his promise to a Jogi or Magician, brings to him the Baital (Vampire), who is hanging on a tree. The difficulties King Vikram and his son have in bringing the Vampire into the presence of the Jogi are truly laughable;This book also inspired the Golden Asse of Apuleius, Boccacio's Decamerone, the Pentamerone, and all that class of facetious fictitious literature.
