Description
The stories of Vikramaditya are among the oldest collection of folk stories centering round the personality of Kind Vikramaditya of Ujjain. First written in Sanskrit, a number of slightly differing version are extant in all the major languages of India. The stories are most interesting. The main purpose of these stories is to illustrate the generous deeds of a model king and emphasize moral lessons. In the light they are didactic, but in their ingenious plots, dramatic situations, portrayal of life and correct appraisal of human character, they are superb. As the reader can easily notice, human nature has not changed a whit even after thousand years at least. - from Amzon
