Do you know the story of Phalabhuti, who narrowly escaped a grisly fate? Or of the kind-hearted Jimutavahana, who gave his life to save a snake from death? Or of young Shringabhuja, who married a rakshasa's daughter? These are just some of the many stories that make up Somadeva's Kathasaritasagara, a classic work of Sanskrit literature that's stuffed full of memorable characters. Within the pages of this book, you will encounter demons and demi-gods, faithful guards and foolish villagers, golden swans, magic pots and even automatons made of wood! Abridged and wonderfully retold by Rohini Chowdhury, this is a great introduction for young readers to a fascinating work of classical Indian literature.
