Product Description
Book Description
Here are Kipling's three comic comrades-in-arms -- clowns, very nearly, though these clowns are to be treated with respect. Set in the British Raj at the turn of the twentieth century, their lot it's to be the bane of their commanding officer -- with their drinking and brawling, and despite his best efforts to break up the threesome. When these infantrymen are up to anything, it's no good at all; but you can bet that it's a hoot to hear the tale. These stories are from Kipling's "Gunga Din" period, but they're comic and farcical; great fun, too.

About the Author
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. The grandson of a clergyman, both on his father and mother's side, he was educated in England and served his apprenticeship as a writer on the newspapers in India. No man ever tried harder to convey to his reader the sensation and very pulse of life that he himself felt than did Kipling in his early work, of which "The Phantom Rickshaw" (1888) is a well-known example.
Kipling is undoubtedly one of the greatest writers of short stories, we are still too near him to be able to clearly appreciate his great talents. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
