Ralston. Tibetan Tales from Indian Sources

Today's free book is Tibetan Tales Derived from Indian Sources by Anton Schiefner, translated by W. R. S. Ralston. For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image.

I've put this in the India category here, although it's also relevant for anyone interested in the folklore of Asia!
