The Baital Pachchise: Or The Twenty-Five Tales Of A Sprite is a collection of Indian folk tales compiled and translated by Duncan Forbes. The book features 25 stories that revolve around the character of Baital, a mischievous sprite who takes on various forms to trick and test the wisdom of human beings. Each tale is narrated by King Vikramaditya, who is tasked with capturing Baital and bringing him back to a sage. However, Baital always manages to escape by posing a riddle or a moral dilemma to the king. The stories cover a wide range of themes, from love and loyalty to greed and deception, and are filled with vivid characters and supernatural elements. The Baital Pachchise is a classic work of Indian literature that continues to captivate readers with its timeless tales and rich cultural heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
