About
A collection of ancient Hindu folktales that end in riddles. The frame for the stories involves a king who must retrieve a goblin-possessed corpse hanging from a tree. It's the goblin who poses the story-riddles to the king, who in turn provides the solution at the end of each tale. Many of the stories involve young beauties, good kings, and magical beings hopelessly falling in love with each other, though there are a few stories of bravery, gods, and monsters.
