Abaft the Funnel
This collection of short stories and poetry is based on Kipling’s experiences in the colonies of the British Empire. Written during a period of great change in Kipling’s life, these stories provide a contrast between his fiction and the travel journalism he wrote at the same time (1888 and 1889).
