Today's free book is Lays and legends of Tartary: Ssidi Kur by William J. Thoms (1834). For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image.
The story of Ssidi Kur told here is a legend of the Kalmyk people. It is related to the Indian cycle of stories known as the Vetalapancavimsati; details here. That is why I have placed this book in the India section of the Freebookapalooza.
The book is available at Hathi Trust (I have not checked for other online sources).
