With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Professor of English at the University of Sussex. The diverse stories selected for this volume demonstrate the astonishing ability of Rudyard Kipling's early writings. Kipling, a Nobel laureate, was extremely prolific and imaginative, showcasing literary skill in dialects, technology and technical terms, exotic locations, and social variety. He gained immense popularity, becoming, as these stories suggest, the accomplished representative of a wide audience. Later, although Kipling's right-wing views caused increasing hostility, his creativity remained impressive. In this rich collection, we encounter bold realism, moving nostalgia, dark comedy, vivid grotesques, explosive fantasy, and disturbing oddities.
