Excerpt from The Phantom Rickshaw

Globe-trotters who expect entertainment as a right have, even within my memory, blunted this open-heartedness, but none the less to day, if you belong to the Inner' Circle and are neither a Bear nor a Black Sheep, all houses are Open to you, and our small world is very, very kind and helpful.

About the Author

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. The grandson of a clergyman, both on his father and mother s side, he was educated in England and served his apprenticeship as a writer on the newspapers in India.

No man ever tried harder to convey to his reader the sensation and very pulse of life that he himself felt than did Kipling in his early work, of which "The Phantom Rickshaw" (1888) is a well-known example.

Kipling is undoubtedly one of the greatest writers of short stories, we are still too near him to be able to clearly appreciate his great talents.
