The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Eerie Tales brings together seven of Rudyard Kipling’s most-loved short stories: ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’, ‘The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes’, ‘The Return of Imray’, ‘My Own True Ghost Story’, ‘At the End of the Passage’, ‘The Man Who Would Be King’ and ‘Without Benefit of Clergy’. One of the greatest short story writers in the English language, Kipling draws us into the British India of the late 1800s, a time when love and hate, fact and fiction, faith and fear mingled to create tales of unsurpassed eeriness and haunting brilliance. In the sparkling introduction to this special collection, Ruskin Bond highlights the genius of Kipling’s short fiction. The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Eerie Tales is a marvellous companion for a train journey or a lazy weekend afternoon, just as it was 125 years ago when it was first published.
