Summary

The Portable Kipling contains selections from The Jungle Books and Soldiers Three; more than twenty stories, including " The Man Who Would Be King," " The Cat that Walked by Himself," " The Eye of Allah," and the unsettling " Mary Postgate"; more than fifty poems; and three essays. The volume also includes a complete chronology and a critical introduction by Irving Howe that permits us to see the formal achievements of Kipling's work as well as to enjoy its abundant pleasures-not least of which is the sheer satisfaction of great storytelling.
