This little omnibus contains fourteen of Kiplings best short stories. In addition to the title story, there are included The Phantom Rickshaw, Wee Willie Winkie, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and The Drums of the fore and Aft. In all it is an excellent introduction to one of the great masters of the short story.
