Books, Inc., New York, New York, U.S.A.,Hardcover. Book Condition: Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in India and lived in the U.S. and England, as well as India and South Africa as an adult. His poetry, short stories, and novels have been well-received by ordinary readers, but he has been scorned by many of the intelligentsia. Nonetheless, his stories, especially those based on cynical realism, have belatedly received praise by critics willing to take a second look. In 1907, he was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize. He is widely accepted as England's unofficial poet laureate and his use of "vulgar" colloquial speech is seen today as an asset, not a liability. This collection contains stories and plays and is part of the publisher's "World's Popular Classics" series, undated
