Debits and credits by Rudyard Kipling
"Debits and Credits" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection published in 1926. This volume gathers fourteen stories, nineteen poems, and two play scenes that range from retellings of ancient tales to accounts of World War I's impact. The stories explore diverse settings—from Sussex villages to medieval abbeys, from school pranks to wartime trenches. Kipling examines themes of love, loss, duty, and human resilience, while some poems playfully imitate the Roman poet Horace.
The collection showcases Kipling's versatility across genres and subjects. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
