The Works of Rudyard Kipling: One Volume Edition
This one-volume edition gathers several of Rudyard Kipling's early books, written mostly during and just after his years as a young journalist in India. It opens with Departmental Ditties, his satirical verses on Anglo-Indian officialdom, followed by the Barrack-Room Ballads, including "The Ballad of East and West," "Danny Deever," "Tommy" and "Gunga Din." The prose includes The Phantom 'Rickshaw and other ghost stories, Under the Deodars, Plain Tales from the Hills, The Story of the Gadsbys and his first novel, The Light That Failed, about a war artist losing his sight. Together they show the range, the sharp observation and the attitudes of empire that first made Kipling famous. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first poems are free.
