Indian Tales
Indian Tales gathers more than thirty of the stories that made Rudyard Kipling famous, drawn from his years as a young journalist in India. Here are the three soldiers Mulvaney, Ortheris and Learoyd in "With the Main Guard" and "The Courting of Dinah Shadd," the children's stories "Wee Willie Winkie" and "His Majesty the King," the eerie "The Phantom Rickshaw" and "The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes," "The Drums of the Fore and Aft," "Beyond the Pale," and "The Man Who Would Be King," about two adventurers who make themselves rulers in Kafiristan. Comic, cruel and tender, they show British India from barracks to bazaar. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
