Twenty Two Goblins

by Anonymous

The book contains 22 captivating stories narrated by a Goblin to King Vikram. As the king endeavors to transport a 'vetala' (vampire) to a sorcerer, he faces numerous challenges. Each time he attempts to capture the elusive creature, it spins a tale culminating in a riddle. If the king solves the riddle, the vetala escapes, but incorrect answers result in its surrender. The stories are a testament to the wit and wisdom of both the king and the goblin, showcasing their ability to outsmart each other through riddles and counter-riddles.
