In a land of glorious kings, bloodthirsty demons and talking spirits, was born the lore of Vikram and the Vetal. What follows is exciting.
After a series of mysterious events, King Vikramaditya carries the vetal, a witty ghost, on a long journey through death’s playground. The vetal narrates the most fascinating stories and asks the most puzzling riddles, leaving Vikram completely stumped.
Deepa Agarwal’s beautiful adaptation brings age-old wisdom alive through the vetal’s wondrous tales of glory, love and honour that are bound to captivate and confound readers even today.
Author, poet and translator, Deepa Agarwal has written about fifty books in English and Hindi, mostly for children. She has received many prestigious awards including N.C.E.R.T.
