I like this book so much. And, I'm writing this review to share the summary of the tales in the book.
Before going into the review, let me say a few words about the author of this book, Rudyard Kipling:
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born on 30 December 1865 at Bombay Presidency in Bombay at a time when India was under the rule of the Great Britain.He played a vital role in making revolutionary changes to the English Literary History.
He was famous as an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. Kipling's notable works include The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Kim, Captains Courageous, "If—", "Gunga Din", "The White Man's Burden". In 1907, at the age of 41, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and its youngest recipient to date.Kipling kept writing until the early 1930s, but at a slower pace and with much less success than before. On the night of 12 January 1936, Kipling suffered a haemorrhage in his small intestine. He underwent surgery, but died less than a week later on 18 January 1936 at the age of 70 of a perforated duodenal ulcer.But, still he lives in the hearts of all through his works.
