Plain Tales from the Hills

Kipling’s first job upon returning to Lahore, British India (now a part of Pakistan) after his years spent in England being educated was as a journalist for the Civil and Military Gazette. This book is a collection of Kipling’s short stories originally published in the Civil and Military Gazette. The title of the volume refers to the practice of the British Raj of escaping  the heat of the Indian plains by spending the hot summers in the coolness of the Punjabi hills.
