India is a land of enchanting mysterious tales. This land had been ruled by many kings whose lives still remained to be mysterious, but their stories have earned immortality. The stories of Vikramaditya, a benevolent Indian ruler, are such mysterious ones. Tales of Vikram and Vetal have fascinated readers all over the world. These stories take the readers into the realm of fairies and ghosts, queens and kings, princes and princesses, braves and cowards, rich and poor, wise and fools, and also the common simpletons. The tales reflect judgments on morality, sacrifice, loyalty and love. This book is a collection of selected stories from the varied Vikram-Vetal encounters. The stories are written in simple and easy to understand language and carry colorful illustrations. We hope that readers would benefit from the judgment skills of Vikramaditya as depicted in these stories.
