This 1904 collection pairs each story with a poem. An American arms dealer tells his tale in ‘The Captive’, a Sikh soldier mourns his officer in ‘A Sahibs’ War’, Pyecroft and the navy return in ‘The Bonds of Discipline’ and ‘Their Lawful Occasions’, and ‘They’ and ‘Wireless’ explore grief and the uncanny.
Kipling in transition after the Boer War, ranging from rough comedy to two of his most haunting stories. Download the free EPUB.
