Description : The widely and frequently travelled Rudyard Kipling's earliest stories celebrate the lives of common British soldiers. This new subject proved to be very popular, earning the author a reputation of being a soldier's friend on account of his deep insight into their mindset and sentiments. The tales also reflect Kipling's familiarity with the Indian philosophy, culture, and customs. His three characters in uniform: Mulvaney, Ortheris and Learoyd, feature as vehicles for anecdotes brimming with refreshing variety and humour. Then there is Badalia's story filled with graphic account of her sheer survival in the London slums. His penchant for machines and technology is seen in one of the stories. Reminiscent of his extraordinary feelings for the animals two more tales that appear here further underscore that passion. Finally, Kipling's fascinating experiment with the supernatural and fantasy, is evident in three other touching stories.
