Publisher's Synopsis
Actions and Reactions Rudyard Kipling This is a collection of stories and poems by Rudyard Kipling. Most of these come from Kipling's earlier years. The stories are an excellent ideal introduction to the writer. The stories in this collection are all very different from each other; With the Night Mail is the only science fiction; then there's a fantasy story about a haunted house almost done as a detective story, and in the less-haunted genre, a couple moves into a old manor-house and discovers that the ties of land and blood are stronger than the travels of man. Both An Habitation Enforced and Garm-A Hostage make it clear that if you never fail in your duty you'll have no trouble. And that you can't get out of your responsibility to the future, which is contained in your past.
