The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Eerie Tales brings together seven of Rudyard Kipling's most-loved short stories: 'The Phantom Rickshaw', 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes', 'The Return of Imray', 'My Own True Ghost Story', 'At the End of the Passage', 'The Man Who Would Be King' and 'Without Benefit of Clergy'. One of the greatest short story writers in the English language, Kipling draws us into the British India of the late 1800s, a time when love and hate, fact and fiction, faith and fear mingled to create tales of unsurpassed eeriness and haunting brilliance.In the sparkling introduction to this special collection, Ruskin Bond highlights the genius of Kipling's short fiction. The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Eerie Tales is a marvellous companion for a train journey or a lazy weekend afternoon, just as it was 125 years ago when it was first published.
The Phantom Rickshaw & Other Eerie Tales brings together four of Kipling's most-loved short stories. Each deals with events that can't quite be explained away, whether a traditional ghost story, a terrifyingly realistic nightmare or an sumptuous and lavish romance. Powerful, exotic and extravagant, these tales are rated, by some, to be the best stories Kipling ever wrote, with 'The Man Who Would Be King' being hailed as the finest story in the English language.
