Collected Stories (Everyman's Library CLASSICS)

Not a complete collection, many good stories of Kipling missing.

Excellent purchase and Amazon service second to none. The quality of this book is so good and the price unbeatable

Great editing and book! The content is obviously your own opinion

I got this so that my husband could read stories to my 10-year-old granddaughter -- he loves to read, she loves to be read to. Kipling provides adventure and different cultures, so I figured it would entertain them both. I had not factored in how limited our vocabularies are today. My husband had to stop frequently to explain words; occasionally, he would have to look one up. They both still enjoyed the stories. (I also think it did my granddaughter good to learn that even grown ups have to look up words; there is no stigma to using a dictionary -- or in our case, the internet.)I would recommend the book to anyone who wants their child to achieve a high score on the verbal SAT, but I think a child would be better off to have it read to him than to read it solo.The book itself is large and heavy (hardback), but the print is a comfortable size.

If you like Kipling's India,this is for you

Enjoyed reading a timeless story which was very pleasant and relaxing.
