Review
"A prophet of British imperialism." --George Orwell
"Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." --Henry James
"These stories are the best account of the nature of the Victorian Raj ever written." --Griff Rhys Jones, actor and editor, "The Nation's Favourite Twentieth Century Poems"
"As the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognized as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with." --Douglas Kerr, author, "George Orwell"

Paperback. Condition: Good. First published in 1888, Plain Tales from the Hills was Kipling's first volume of prose fiction. His vignettes of life in British India give vivid insights into Anglo-India at work and play, and into the character of the Indians themselves. Witty, wry, sometimes cynical, these tales with their brevity and concentration of effect are landmarks in the history of the short story as an art-form. Owner's Name inside. Owner's name has been crossed out in pen. 279 pages. Seller Inventory # 1414444
