Plus I can now understand your family's enthusiasm for him! Apologies, by the way, for this long delay in replying to you; the pandemic hasn't been great for anybody's peace of mind, but I'm sorry I let so much slip by.

My acquaintance with Kipling's short stories is unfortunately spotty to say the least; however, I picked up a copy of the Everyman's Library edition of his "Collected Stories" a while back so I should be able to start edumacating myself in that regard before long.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-66613412876232657772020-03-30T23:57:13.294-04:002020-03-30T23:57:13.294-04:00I thought it was excellent--with a lot to chew ove...I thought it was excellent--with a lot to chew over--and highly entertaining too. In case I caused any confusion with my "escapism" comment, I was referring to the writing of my post and not "Kim"!
