'Mind you, it was a pukka, respectable opium-house, and not one of those stifling, sweltering chandoo-khanasthat you can find all over the City.'Kipling first became famous for his pungent, harsh and shocking stories of northwest India, where he grew up. This is just a small selection from his inexhaustibly contentious and various early work.Introducing Little Black Classics- 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th century California and the Russian steppe.

Recently published in the Penguin LIttle Black Classics series, this collection presents six short stories from "Plain Tales from the Hills", a volume first published in 1890 when Kipling was still in his twenties. These are tales of Imperial India - a setting which must have seemed exotic then, and is all the more so now that the British Raj is, literally, history. Two of the stories have supernatural elements. All of them however manage to convey a sense of dread and unease. In contrast, the narrative style is witty, worldly and cynical. This is the voice of a cocky officer in the barracks, a storyteller who is fun to listen to but whose tales one should take with a pinch of salt. A fine Kipling taster. ( )

Well this book was significantly darker than The Jungle Book!
I really liked the more grownup and dark tales of Rudyard Kipling. He told the stories very matter of factly, but with startling detail.
He was born in India (where all of the stories take place) but to British parents, and a sense of confusion around his national and cultural identity play a role in a lot of the stories.

An interesting little collection overall ( )

A selection of Kipling's short stories of course about the colonial era of India. Fine little stories but I'm afraid Kipling just never was my cup of tea. ( )
