"Plain Tales from the Hills, Rudyard Kipling's first collection of short stories, established his reputation and brought India to the British imagination ... Originally published for a newspaper in Lahore, when Kipling was a journalist, the tales were later revised by him to re-create as vividly as possible the sights and smells of India for readers at home."--Page 4 of cover
