Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Notes
It is hardly fair to Mr. Kipling to call Ameri can Notes first impressions, for one reading them will readily see that the impressions are superficial, little thought being put upon the writing. They seem supersarcastic, and would lead one to believe that Mr. Kipling is antagonistic to America in every respect. This, however, is not true. These Notes aroused much protest and severe eriti cism when they appeared in 1891, and are consid ered so far beneath Mr. Kipling's real work that they have been nearly suppressed and are rarely found in a list of his writings. Their very caus tic style is of interest to a student and lover of Kipling, and for this reason the publishers believe them worthy of a good binding.
