The Kādambarī by Bāṇabhaṭṭa, the greatest Sanskrit prose work, valiantly translated by the late Gwendolyn Layne.It is hard for English to do any justice to the language of the original, but Ms. Layne (http://members.aceweb.com/gwenlayne/index.html) does a wonderful job under the circumstances. Published in 1991, and electronic publication authorized by Ms. Layne's husband Clinton Seely. Downloaded from the GRETIL e-library (http://gretil.sub.uni-goettingen.de/gr_elib.htm).
