Selected Works, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Privates Mulvaney, Ortheris, and Learoyd, who have already been introduced to the public. Those anxious to know how the three most cruelly maltreated a member of Parliament; how Ortheris went mad for a space; how Mulvaney and some friends took the town of Lungtungpen; and how little Jhansi Mc Kenna helped the regiment when it was smitten with cholera, must refer to a book called Plain Tales from the Hills. I would have reprinted the four stories in this place, but Dinah Shadd says that tearin the tripes out av a book wid a pictur on the back, all to make Terence proud past reasonin ,is wasteful, and Mulvaney himself says that he prefers to have his fame dishpersed most notoriously in sev ril volumes. I can only hope that his desire will be gratified. RUDYAKD KIPLING.
