Leigh on front paste-down end-paper; top and base of spine worn, joints rubbed, but a good copy Several of the stories first appeared in The Week's News during 1888 and were first published in book form in Allahabad in 1888. The Spectator reviewed the stories on 23 March 1889: "The perusal of these stories cannot fail to inspire the reader with the desire to make further acquaintance with the other writings of the author. Mr. Kipling is so gifted and versatile, that one would gladly see him at work on a larger canvas. But to be so brilliant a teller of short stories is in itself no small distinction.".
