US: Penguin Books Ltd, 1991. Paperback. Good. Originally written for the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette, the stories w ere intended for a provincial readership familiar with the pleasures and mi series of colonial life. For the subsequent English edition, Kipling revise d the tales so as to recreate as vividly as possible the sights and smells of India for those at home. Yet far from being a celebration of Empire, Kip ling's stories tell of 'heat and bewilderment and wasted effort and broken faith'. He writes brilliantly and hauntingly about the barriers between the races, the classes and the sexes; and about innocence, not transformed int o experience but implacably crushed.
