Plain Tales from the Hills is the Kipling’s first collection of short stories, the tales about India and more noticeably about the British in India. The title refers, by way of a pun on ‘Plain’ as the reverse of ‘Hills’, to the deceptively simple narrative style; and to the fact that many of the stories are set in the Hill Station of Simla—the ‘summer capital of the British Raj’ during the hot weather. The tales include the first appearances, in book form, of Mrs. Hauksbee, the policeman Strickland, and the Soldiers Three (Privates Mulvaney, Ortheris and Learoyd).
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children’s books are classics of children’s literature; and one critic described his work as exhibiting ‘a versatile and luminous narrative gift’.
