Winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907, Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) drew upon his experiences in Anglo-Indian Society for much of his writing. This volume presents five of Kipling's best early stories, including «The Phantom Rickshaw,» a psychological thriller; «Wee Willie Winkie,» a delightful display of love for children; «Without Benefit of Clergy,» the poignant story of an Englishmen's affair with an Islamic woman; «The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes»; and the celebrated title story.
