This selection of Rudyard Kipling s short stories features ten of his most brilliant creations – a thrilling mix of mysteries, adventures, science fiction and horror. In these tales of shipwrecks and tidal waves, blackmailers and false kings, hallucinating poets and shell-shocked gardeners, Kipling uses the full force of his creative powers to devastating effect.

An entertaining collection from the much loved author of The Jungle Book, and the first book ever published as a Pan paperback.
