London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1870. These Sanskrit tales of the vetala - a huge Bat, Vampire, or Evil Spirit appearing as a jinn - date from the eleventh century. The explorer-adventurer Richard Francis Burton,was a talented linguist, and may have spoken upwards of forty languages; he had a fascination for Eastern folk tales and eroticism. His translation of the "Thousand Nights and a Night" remains the gold standard. This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition.

London: Longmans, Green and Co, 1870. First edition, Penzer's second issue binding, small 8vo, pp. xxiv, 319; 15 plates, other illustrations in the text; original pictorial red cloth stamped in black and gilt on upper cover and spine; top of spine chipped level with text block; all else very good. Penzer, pp. 80-82: "The date of the original collection of the vampire tales is unknown. They were certainly written in Sanskrit some time anterior to 1070 ... Burton's work is an incomplete adaption of the Hindu version, and until 1921 no actual translation (complete or otherwise) existed." Casada 93.
