PLAIN TALES FROM THE HILLS.— By Rudyard Kipling, author of 

 " Departmental Ditties & other Verses." Third Edition. Crown 8vo. Rs. 4. 



" Rattling stories of flirtation and sport .... Funny stories of practical 

 jokes and sells .... Sad little stories of deeper things told with an affect- 

 ation of solemnity but rather more throat-lumping for that." — Sunday Times. 



" Mr. Kipling possesses the art of telling a story. ' Plain Tales from the 

 Hills' sparkle with fun; they are full of life, merriment, and humour, as a 

 rule mirth-provoking. There is at times a pathetic strain ; but this soon 

 passes, and laughter — as the Yankees say, side-splitting laughter — is the order 

 of the day. There are spits at persons of note, sh r allusions to the mysterious 

 ways of officials in high places, and covert attacks on the peculiarities of a 

 great Government. The mirror of satire reflects all and everything, nothing 

 escapes, and the result is one of the most sparkling, witty, and droll collection 

 of tales which could be well conceived." — Allen's Indian Mail. 



" Mr. Kipling knows and appreciates the English in India, and is a born 

 story-teller and a man of humour into the bargain. He is also singularly 

 versatile and equally at home in humour and pathos; while neither quality is 

 ever quite absent from his little stories ... it would be hard to find better 

 reading."— Saturday Review.
