Ryder is a translation of a classic collection of tales from Sanskrit literature, written during the late 19th century. The book presents a series of intriguing stories steeped in moral lessons, frame narratives, and riddle-like questioning. Central to the narrative is King Triple-victory, who becomes embroiled in fantastical tales told by a goblin he is compelled to carry, with each story posing a moral dilemma or puzzle that the king must resolve. The opening portion of the work introduces the setting, revealing a mythical kingdom where the wise King Triple-victory unwittingly engages with a goblin after accidentally setting it free. The goblin's tales commence with a complex story about a prince's romantic misadventures that ultimately lead to misery and loss for several characters. The king's task, as demanded by the goblin, is to discern blame among the involved parties in the tale. This initial story sets the tone for the following narratives, which revolve around the interplay of duty, love, ethics, and destiny as the goblin leads the king on a journey filled with engaging characters and moral quandaries.
