Kipling’s Fantasy: Stories by Rudyard Kipling

One of the finest writers in the English language, Rudyard Kipling was the first British author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (in 1907). From children’s stories to adult romances, from tales of ordinary men and women to tales of the supernatural, the scope and breadth of his work has rarely been equalled.
Kipling’s mastery of his craft lies in his eye for telling detail. Whether he writes of an exotic land at the ends of the earth or of everyday England, of heaven or hell or anywhere in between, he brings it all home to the reader.
This selection of his fantasy stories ranges from pre-history through mythology to the present” of the early 1900s, from England to Australia to India, from comedy to tragedy to simple human courage.
Rudyard Kipling has tales to tell, and he tells them with a sure hand. They have been and continue to be an enduring delight and inspiration to many generations of readers and writers.
