"Plain Tales from the Hills" is the first collection of short stories by
Rudyard Kipling, published in 1888. The book consists of 40 stories, with 28
of them initially published in the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore,
British India. The title of the book refers to the deceptively simple
narrative style and the setting of many stories in the Hill Station of Simla.
The tales provide sketches of various aspects of life in British India. The
collection introduces characters like Mrs. Hauksbee, Strickland the policeman,
and the Soldiers Three. Jorge Luis Borges was inspired by the quality and
conciseness of these stories. Some characters from the collection reappear in
Kipling's novel "Kim." Overall, "Plain Tales from the Hills" is a significant
work in Kipling's literary career, showcasing his talent for storytelling and
capturing the essence of life in colonial India.
