The profits we gain supports The Ronald McDonald House Doernbecher's Children's Hospital Randall's Children Hospital both in Portland Oregon the Shriner's Children Hospital and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. </p><p>Condition: Fair binding is coming loose from the cover. No dust jacket. Was a copy read by what I assume a lot of ranch hand's which makes this copy a well loved novel.</p><p>About this Novel: Plain Tales from the Hills published 1888 is the first collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling. Out of its 40 stories "eight-and-twenty" according to Kipling's Preface were initially published in the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore Punjab British India between November 1886 and June 1887. "The remaining tales are more or less new." Kipling had worked as a journalist for the CMG—his first job—since 1882 when he was not quite 17. <br />The title refers by way of a pun on "Plain" as the reverse of "Hills" to the deceptively simple narrative style; and to the fact that many of the stories are set in the Hill Station of Simla—the "summer capital of the British Raj" during the hot weather. Not all of the stories are in fact about life in "the Hills": Kipling gives sketches of many aspects of life in British India. <br />The tales include the first appearances in book form of Mrs. Hauksbee the policeman Strickland and the Soldiers Three Privates Mulvaney Ortheris and Learoyd<br /></p> Rand McNally & Company hardcover
