Written by the much-loved Rudyard Kipling, these stories comprise his unabridged observations of the British in India, originally commissioned for the \u003ci\u003eCivil and Military Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e for whom he worked as a journalist in the 1880s. Incredibly, Kipling wrote these famous and atmospheric pieces before he was 22, and they aptly illustrate his genius as a storyteller whose words and voice have stood the test of time. The raciness of his narrative, the astute detail and insight, the humor and vitality of his characters—all contribute to ensure these stories remain as various and memorable as India itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CSA Word","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044127916272,"sku":"9781934997499","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934997499_p0.jpg?v=1763655809","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934997499","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
