Plain Tales from the Hills conjures up an intimate, evocative, often funny portrait of India. These unabridged observations of the British in India and Indian life were originally commissioned for The Civil and Military Gazette where Kipling worked as a journalist in the 1880s. Incredibly, Kipling write these famous and atmospheric pieces before he was twenty-two and they aptly illustrate his genius as a storyteller whose words and voice have stood the test of time. The raciness of his narrative, the astute detail and insight and the humour and vitality of his characters all contribute to ensure these stories remain as varied and memorable as India herself. Reader Martin Jarvis is a multi-award-winning actor and narrator, famous for his audio work on the Just William stories and the stories of P.G. Wodehouse.

This collection of short stories was written at the end of the 19th century - I loved it as a teenager just after WWII abd it is just as entertaining now. Kipling's style is clear, sparkling and simple, not at all long winded. The pictures he paints of social life in India in the hey day of the British raj also show the very human dilemmas that are with us always. Each story is separate but there is a sequence, with the same characters appearing in different snapshots, so that the book makes sense as a whole, without the fragmentation of other volumes of short stories
