A deep attachment to India marked most of Rudyard Kipling’s writings. Famous for Kim and Jungle Book among a huge variety of short stories and poems, Kipling’s writings were broadly divided into writings of war, poems and experiences in India.
Plain Tales from the Hills published in 1888 is the first collection of short stories by Kipling. These were written when he wasn't even twenty. The stories centre around army life, observations of the office of British India and the officers’ vacation time in Shimla, a mountainous town in northern India.
