Took me forever to find this online and in the end my Mom grabbed this for me from Bahri and Sons Booksellers in New Delhi. I'm super into frame-tales so discovering this was like hitting a gold mine.
This 11th century collection of stories from earlier "lost" sources (notably the Brhatkatha) is fantastic stuff!!! Some of these stories filtered into the Panchatantra and Jataka tales for people who have a familiarity with South Asian folk tales. The tales also traveled west over the years and filtered into collections like the Arabian Nights. Can't say enough about the Tawney/Penzer edition - best footnotes ever...seriously.

Excellent collection of stories. Entertaining and the translation was very smooth. I also liked how the translator gave references to similar stories or scenes from around the world (although sometimes they were a bit of stretch).
