Plain Tales from the Hills conjures up an intimate, evocative, often funny portrait of India. These unabridged observations of the British in India and Indian life were originally commissioned for The Civil and Military Gazette where Kipling worked as a journalist in the 1880s. Incredibly, Kipling wrote these famous and atmospheric pieces before he was twenty-two and they aptly illustrate his genius as a storyteller whose words and voice have stood the test of time. Stories included: The Other Man Three and an Extra The Rescue of Pluffles The Arrest of Lieutenant Golightly Lispeth Venus Annodomini Yoked with an Unbeliever Consequences On the Strength of a Likeness In Error His Wedded Wife The Bisara of Pooree Watches of the Night Cupid's Arrows The Broken-Link Handicap A Bank Fraud Miss Yougal's Sais Thrown Away Beyond the Pale A Germ Destroyer The Taking of Lungtungpen In the House of Suddhoo The Bronckhorst Divorce False Dawn
