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.
