Another week another new book:
Plain Tales from the
Hills – Rudyard Kipling
I haven’t started this yet, but the bookmark is firmly
placed on page one. What I have done is to have a little scout through to see
what sort of story or tale might come from the hills. I discovered that there
were about 41 stories across 336 pages so I’m guessing they follow their
description and are in fact short. Like Kim
they are set in India during the time of the British Raj, and I can’t help
wondering what the first British readers of these stories would have thought of
it. It must have been so different to Victorian England.
