A vampire piggybacking on a king's back while spinning stories and riddles!
Poor King Vikram! Tasked by the sorcerer Shaitanish to bring him a corpse, he finds that a vampire named Betal has taken residence in it. Heโll come along only if King Vikram lends a willing ear to a series of riddling tales.
Thereโs the one about the worldโs most sensitive ladies: Queens Touchmenot, Itsratherhot and Oohmyhead. Thereโs the tale of the four foolish brothers Nin, Com, Poo and Oops. Each tale is crazier, funnier, madder than the last, and even if King Vikram doesnโt enjoy the journey - you sure will!
The story of Vikram and Betal is over a thousand years old. See this much-loved traditional tale come alive with Priya Kuriyanโs fabulous illustrations.
