Sinopsis

Twenty-Two Goblins by Arthur William Ryder is a fascinating collection of ancient Hindu folktales woven together with riddles and moral lessons. The stories are framed by a king?s quest to retrieve a goblin-possessed corpse hanging from a tree. Throughout the book, the goblin challenges the king by presenting a series of riddles at the conclusion of each tale. The tales themselves are rich in imagination, often involving themes of love, magic, and heroism. Young beauties, noble kings, and mystical creatures find themselves entangled in stories of love and fate, while some tales explore themes of bravery, divine intervention, and the battle between good and evil. The riddles posed by the goblin serve as a means to test the king?s wisdom, and each story?s resolution is intricately tied to the king?s ability to solve these challenges. Ryder?s storytelling blends elements of fantasy, morality, and wit, creating a work that entertains while provoking reflection on love, duty, and the complexities of life. This collection offers a window into ancient Indian lore, presenting timeless themes through an engaging and thought-provoking narrative structure.
