Description
The first Indian edition, featuring the front cover illustration by Kipling’s father, initialed and dated by Kipling in July 1889, and owned by Kipling’s friend and publisher, Nelson Doubleday. Plain Tales is Kipling finding his voice as an English Euripides, a voice at once both quintessentially of his culture and observationally, compellingly apart—essentially subversive, not, as some veil him, reactionary.
