"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.
