What if every story ended with a riddle you had to solve — or face a curse?
Vikram Aur Betaal is one of the most iconic story collections in Indian folklore. These tales, first passed down through oral tradition and later immortalized in print, feature the brave King Vikramaditya and the clever, ghostly Betaal. Every night, the king must carry Betaal on his shoulders — and with every journey, Betaal spins a new, mysterious story.
But there’s a twist. At the end of each tale, Betaal poses a tricky question. If the king knows the answer and remains silent, his head will explode. If he speaks, the ghost returns to his tree. The cycle continues — story after story, riddle after riddle.
These aren't just spooky tales. They’re moral puzzles, clever riddles wrapped in layers of human psychology, justice, greed, sacrifice, and wisdom. Each story tests your logic, your ethics, and your empathy.
Published by Maple Press, this version keeps the charm of the original stories alive while making them accessible to modern readers. It’s perfect for kids, teens, and adults who love mystery, mythology, and a bit of brain-teasing fun.
So if you enjoy a mix of spine-tingling stories and clever twists, Vikram Aur Betaal is your ideal read. Download the free pdf version and explore more free books download now on Bookdio.
