"Kipling's mastery of his craft lies in his eye for telling detail. Whether he writes of an exotic land at the ends of the earth or of everyday England, of heaven or hell or anywhere in between, he brings it all home to the reader." "This selection of his science fiction includes some of his best-loved stories." "Rudyard Kipling has tales to tell, and he tells them with a sure hand. They have been and continue to be an enduring delight and inspiration to many generations of readers and writers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known." In 1907, at the age of 42, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, both of which he declined.
