Two volumes in one. Ca. 200 p. Sanskrit text, with German pencil annotations. 8vo. Contemporary cloth backed marbled boards. Edited by Narayana Balakrishna Godabole and Kasinath Pandurang Parab. Collected around the 13th and 14th Century A.D., these stories and fables in the Sanskrit language feature both animal and human characters. They incorporate maxims, worldly wisdom and advice on worldly and political affairs in simple, elegant language. The work has been widely translated.

The purported author, who characterizes himself as the Devonshire stroller and dog stealer, was born in 1693 and transported to America at some undetermined date in his youth. Carew describes his adventures in Maryland, Virginia,and farther north where,according to Howes, he operated confidence schemes among colonial suckers.
