Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baital-Pachisi, or Twenty-five Tales of a Baital is the history of a huge Bat, Vampire, or Evil Spirit which inhabited and animated dead bodies. It is an old, and thoroughly Hindu, Legend composed in Sanskrit, and is the germ which culminated in the Arabian Nights, and which inspired the "Golden Ass" of Apuleius, Boccacio's "Decamerone," the "Pentamerone," and all that class of facetious fictitious literature. The 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. It is an old Hindu folk tale that was translated by Sir Richard R. Burton from the original Sanskrit.

Book excerpt: King Vikram has a devil of a dilemma! In order to gain power and wealth beyond his wildest dreams, he has to deliver a corpse to the sorcerer Shaitanish. Only this particular corpse is home to Betal, an impish tale-spinning vampire who sets the King a series of riddles as he rides along on his back. If the King solves the riddle, but DOESN T speak his answer out loud, the vampire will come along quietly. Seems simple enough. But nobody is quite as foolish as a foolish king, and Betal runs rings about the poor man, making him into a Royal ass! The stories of Vikram and Betal dates back over a thousand years. In this new book, Natasha Sharma brings this timeless classic to life in a hilarious modern retelling. Children from eight to eighty will enjoy the stories-within-a-story that the tongue-twisting, punning vampire uses to outwit the king."

Book excerpt: 1870 (the first) edition, illustratedTranslated from the original Sanskrit by the Sir Richard Francis Burton, these ancient Indian folk tales will entertain modern readers while illuminating the life and customs of classical India.Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890), the explorer, adventurer, translator, and student of Eastern sexual customs, was born in Torquay, England. He received an irregular education, which included an expulsion from Oxford University. In 1842 Burton enlisted in army of the East India Company and went to India, where he learned the Persian, Hindustani, Afghan, and Arabic languages. Burton was the first European to reach Harar, the religious capital of Somaliland. He was the discoverer of Lake Tanganyika and explored in the Congo, the Cameroons, Dahomey, and Brazil. He was a pioneer ethnologist and anthropologist.Burton was a linguist of dazzling ability, speaking 29 languages and 11 dialects. He wrote 43 books on his travels and two volumes of poetry. In addition to translating The Arabian Nights, he translated six volumes of Portuguese literature, two volumes of Latin poetry, and four volumes of Neapolitan, African, and Hindu folklore.Burton, together with Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot, created The Kama Shastra Society to print and circulate books that would be illegal to publish in public. This society fulfilled his ability to write about his deep interest in sexuality. Best known in this vein is his translation of The Kama Sutra, printed by the society in 1883. He was working on an English translation from the French edition of the arabic erotic guide called The Perfumed Garden. His manuscript entitled The Scented Garden was burned after his death by his wife, Isabel Arundel. It is rumored that Burton wanted this book to be published after his death to provide an income for Isabel, but she destroyed it in an effort to preserve his reputation. Burton died of a heart attack on October 20, 1890.Both Burton and his wife are buried in a tomb that is shaped like a Bedouin tent, designed by Isabel. The tomb is in St. Mary Magdalen's Roman Catholic Church Mortlake, southwestern London.
