The Man Who Would Be King

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.
