Four Tales from India
Rudyard Kipling · 1888 · Adventure, Drama & Literary
Four sharp tales of British India move from a rain-beaten dak bungalow to an occult prank, a Lahore confidence trick, and a regimental wager - each testing what happens when fear, belief, performance and pride overtake common sense.
