Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Plain Tales from the Hills" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories published in 1888. Kipling's first story collection features forty tales of British colonial life in India, from the hill station of Simla to the plains below. Written in a deceptively simple style, these sketches introduce memorable characters like Mrs. Hauksbee, policeman Strickland, and the Soldiers Three. The stories capture various aspects of life under the British Raj, blending social comedy with darker undercurrents of colonial existence.
