Description
As a young writer living in Lahore during the time of the British Raj, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was possessed by an enormous subject - India; and his genius for rendering it's beauty and strangeness was even then so fully formed that we have to look towards the likes of Shakespeare and Dickens to find writers equally precocious. What is even more astonishing, and what this selection of his stories from his entire career reveals, is the fact that he continuously grew and developed. The work he did toward the end of his long writing life is even better than that which marked its splendid beginnings.
