About this book
Tales of Destiny is by Edmund Mitchell. The contents list names, among others, chapters called The Maid of Jhalnagor, told by the Rajput Chief, The Hollow Column, told by the Tax-Collector, and What the Stars ordained, told by the Astrologer.
The introduction describes a caravanserai that stood in the year 1580 just without one of the massive bastioned gates of the city of Fathpur-Sikri. A speaker called the Rajput says of a hunt, "we killed the tiger", and says he saw "the prone figure of a child" on the pathway. One speaker says all had gone their several ways, leaving Baji Lal and his wife, Bimjee and himself alone beneath the pipul tree. Another speaker mentions "a lonely gorge densely grown with jungle" where "the sacrifice to Bowani would be consummated".
