Rudyard Kipling's Stories in Prose and Verse.

CROWN 8vo. Rs. 4. (65)

PLAIN TALES FROM THE HILLS:

A COLLECTION OF STORIES BY RUDYARD KIPLING,

Author of "Departmental Ditties and other Verses."

"There are rattling stories of flirtation and sport, with a good deal of the Lever swing; there are funny stories of practical jokes and sells, full of the irresponsible vivacity of the youngsters whom such toys delight; and there are sad little stories of deeper things, told with no affectation of solemnity, but rather more throat-lumping for that."-Sunday Times.

"They sparkle with fun; they are full of life, merriment and humour."-Allen's Indian Mail."

"We have seen entertainers who, with nothing but a piano and a decanter of water, could move an audience to laughter and tears for a whole evening; and Mr. Rudyard Kipling's skill as a raconteur irresistibly reminds us of such feats."--Broad Arrow.

In square 32mo. ; 4s. bd.

"They reflect with light gaiety the thoughts and feelings of actual men and women, and are true as well as clever. Mr. KIPLING achieves the feat of making Anglo-Indian society flirt and intrigue visibly before our eyes. His book gives hope of a new literary star of no mean magnitude

rising in the east."-Sir W. W. Hunter in The Academy.

"As for that terrible, scathing piece, "The Story of Uriah," we know of nothing with which to compare it, and one cannot help the wretched feeling that it is true. 'In Spring Time' is the most pathetic lament of an exile we know in modern poetry."-Graphic.
