Board corners bumped, ink gift note on front endpaper. 1909 Hard Cover. viii, 323 pp. The measure of a man's popularity is not always --or indeed seldom-- the measure of his intrinsic worth. So, when the earlier work of any writer is gathered together in more enduring form, catering to the enthusiasm of his readers in his maturer years, there is always a suspicion that his venture is purely a commercial one, without literary justification. Fortunately these thirty-one stories of Mr. Kipling's form their own best excuse for this, their first appearance together in book form. Not merely because in them may be traced the origin of that style and subject matter that later made their author famous; but because the stories are in themselves worth while --worth writing, and worth reading.

MP3 Audio CD. Rudyard Kipling (1868 ? 1936) began his adventures in writing short stories at an early age, during his time spent working at the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, India. His talent was quickly noted, and it wasn?t long before he would receive due recognition for short story collections like his Plain Tales from the Hills, In Black and White or The Phantom ?Rickshaw and Other Eerie Tales.Compiled in 1909, Abaft the Funnel is one of Rudyard Kipling?s most controversial short story collections, due to the fact that Kipling wasn?t keen about their eventual reprinting.

Using genuine nautical terms and phrases that only the sailors of old would utilize in conversation, he set the stage masterfully to immerse the… Read More
