Muhammad bin Tughlaq, the Sultan of Dihli, is outraged. Someone has
stolen his favourite dessert, the sugared melons from Khurasim.
What's worse, people are questioning his plans of torture and
punishment. Who can help the Sultan solve this mystery?
King Vikram has a devil of a dilemma! In order to gain power and
wealth beyond his wildest dreams, he must deliver a corpse to the
sorcerer Shaitanish. The only problem with this simple task is that
this particular corpse is home to Betal-an impish storyteller of a
vampire with tricks up his sleeve. Betal gives the King a series of
riddles to solve as he rides along on the King's back. If King
Vikram solves the riddle, but forgets to speak his answer aloud,
the vampire will continue to haunt him-spoiling his plans for
innumerable riches! Nobody is quite as foolish as King Vikram and
Betal runs circles around the poor man, quickly turning him into a
royal punchline. Stories like this one of Vikram and Betal date
back over a thousand years and in Vikram and the Vampire, Natasha
Sharma brings the classic story to life in a hilarious and modern
retelling. Children from eight to eighty will enjoy the tale of a
dimwitted king and the tongue-twisting, punning vampire who is
destined to outsmart him.
