[Anshul · Rating 2 out of 5]

Though a few stories were enticing; my frustration is more so with this particular edition by Roli books - how for the lack of paper and making it a thin and flimsy book, put these stories in the most unreadable format.

[Raghav · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked the forward written by Khushwant Singh, that's the only thing. I personally felt Kipling's views on India and Indians were demeaning and condescending. Could not finish reading most of the stories.

Anything Anglo Indian or related to the Raj is sure to enrapture me and this is no exception.
