PLAIN TALES FROM THE HILLS : 



k 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 vdvacity of the youngsters whom such toys delight ; and there are 

 sad httle 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." — 

 Aliens Indian Mail." 



"Wt have seen entertainers who, with nothing but a piano and a decanter 

 oi 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.

BEING 



HUMOROUS POEMS OF INDIAN OFFICIALDOM. 



THIRD EDITION, WITH ADDITIONAL POEMS. 



' ' 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."— 5?> IV. W. Hunter in Tlie 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.
