Plain Tales from the Hills
by Rudyard Kipling
Founded and published in the time of the British Raj, in the time of the subalterns and tea planters, the 40 stories in Simple Tales from the Hills are played under the unforgivable sun and reveal the deception, disbelief, shallowness, despair, insecurity, hatred and petty jealousy that prevailed among the British people of India. Captivating, funny, tragic, highly readable and humorous, these stories provide an invaluable insight into life in India during the reign of the British Raj and introduce us to the works of one of the most beloved writers of the 20th century.
