Synopsis
This anthology of Rudyard Kipling's greatest short stories contains some of the most memorable and popular examples of the genre of which he was an undisputed master. "The Man Who Would be King" is a classic tale of adventure as the opportunistic, renegade and vagabond pair of Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan attempt to establish themselves at the level of god and king over the primitive people of Kafiristan. Other famous short stories included are: "Only a Subaltern", "The Phantom Rickshaw", "Wee Willie Winkie", and "Baa Baa Black Sheep".
