A timeless collection celebrating the storytelling brilliance of Rudyard Kipling, one of the most influential English writers of all time. This volume brings together some of Kipling’s finest short stories, showcasing his sharp observations, vivid imagination, and deep connection with India.

Born in Bombay and shaped by both Indian and British worlds, Kipling drew richly from his early experiences, weaving the sights, sounds, and spirit of colonial India into unforgettable narratives. From the bustling streets of Lahore to the moral complexities of empire, these stories reflect a writer equally at ease among British peers and Indian friends.

Best known for The Jungle Book, Kipling’s short fiction enchants readers of all ages with its adventure, insight, and humanity. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 at just 42, he remains the youngest recipient and the first English-language writer to receive the honour.

Ideal for classic literature lovers, students, and readers discovering Kipling beyond The Jungle Book, this collection is a wonderful introduction to his enduring legacy.
