Selected Stories From Kipling
Excerpt from Selected Stories From Kipling
Everyone has noticed the analogy between the early work of Kipling and that of Bret Harte. Kipling noticed it him self. The American saw his opportunity as a frontiersman in literature, and became a sectional writer. He revealed to sophisticated city-bred readers the passion, humor, and pathos in the lives of the rough miners of California, giving to his sketches that touch of nature which makes the whole.
