A collection of Kiplings strangest tales with almost every one accompanied by a linked poem. As an SF fan I am of course delighted that the very first tale in the collection is science fiction As Easy as A.B.C. the sequel to his With the Night Mail It also includes a depiction of hatred on the home front in Mary Postgate and contrasting humour in an extended revenge prank aimed at a whole town The Village that Voted the Earth was Flat. One exceedingly mad tale made no sense the first three times I read it but became much (but not entirely) clearer when I discovered that the key unwritten word was witchcraft. However I will not give the title of that story so I dont entirely spoil it (Peter Dunn)
