Kim

by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling’s Kim tells the story of Kimball
“Kim” O'Hara, an imperial orphan scavenging a hand-to-mouth existence in British
India during the late 1890s. The novel functions as a fictionalization of
Kipling’s own Indian childhood, but it is also a strong example of the
adventure stories that became especially popular in the heyday of the British
Empire. Kim has been noted for its detailed portrait of the people, culture,
and varied religions of India.

Kim was serialized in McClure's... Read more about this item

The Jungle Book

by Rudyard Kipling

RUDYARD KIPLING was born in Bombay in India in 1865 to British parents, and brought by a Portuguese 'ayah' (nanny) and an Indian servant, who would entertain him with fabulous stories and Indian nursery rhymes.

Rewards and Fairies

by Rudyard Kipling

Puck of Pook's Hill and Rewards and Fairies are classic children's books which speak powerfully to adult readers. Una and Dan, performing a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream one Midsummer's Eve, accidentally summon Puck to a fairy ring near their Sussex home. Through Puck the children are witnesses to tales of English history, subtly called forth by Kipling's brilliant and fluid adventure writing. Kipling's historical imagination extends to a wide variety of stories, many of which blend the ghostly... Read more about this item

Puck Of Pook's Hill

by Rudyard Kipling

The children were at the Theatre, acting to Three Cows as much as they could remember of Midsummer Night's Dream. Their father had made them a small play out of the big Shakespeare one, and they had rehearsed it with him and with their mother till they could say it by heart. They began when Nick Bottom the weaver comes out of the bushes with a donkey's head on his shoulders, and finds Titania, Queen of the Fairies, asleep.

Plain Tales From the Hills

by Rudyard Kipling

Originally written for the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette, the stories were intended for a provincial readership familiar with the pleasures and miseries of colonial life. For the subsequent English edition, Kipling revised the tales so as to recreate as vividly as possible the sights and smells of India for those at home. Yet far from being a celebration of Empire, Kipling's stories tell of 'heat and bewilderment and wasted effort and broken faith'. He writes brilliantly and hauntingly about the...

The Light That Failed

by Rudyard Kipling

So we settled it all when the storm was done As comf'y as comf'y could be; And I was to wait in the barn, my dears, Because I was only three; And Teddy would run to the rainbow's foot, Because he was five and a man; And that's how it all began, my dears, And that's how it all began. - Big Barn Stories.

The Phantom 'Rickshaw
