Somerset Maugham once described Rudyard Kipling as 'our greatest short story writer', adding, 'I can't believe he will ever be equalled. I am sure he will never be excelled.' Known by many only for The Jungle Book and the Just So stories, Kipling's range was in fact much wider. Most readers will be familiar with his stories about India and many know of his adventure tale, 'The Man who would be King' which was made into a record-breaking film, but how many are aware of his horror stories like 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes', his ghost stories like 'They', his mystery stories like 'The Wish House', his revenge stories like 'Dayspring Mishandled', or the enigmatical, 'Mary Postgate'? All can be found in this anthology of sixteen of his favourite Kipling stories. It comes with an introductory essay by Brian Harris setting the author against the background of his family, his school and his times, confronting head-on such issues as his political and religious views and his supposed racialism. After posing the question, why should we read Kipling today, Mr Harris answers, 'Here is someone who paid the respect that is due, but not always accorded even now, to the alien, the poor and the oppressed. As the unofficial spokesman of the greatest empire in the history of the world he described accurately and sympathetically the lives of the peoples living under its jurisdiction. Though no orthodox believer, he prized and in his writings illustrated the great Christian virtues of charity, compassion and forgiveness, as well as the more modest British virtue of toleration. Nor is it possible to read his stories without being surprised by the light they so often throw on the eternal mysteries of love, pain and loss. Ultimately, however, we read him, as our parents did before us, for sheer enjoyment. The Two-Sided Man comes hard on the heels of Mr Harris' anthology of Kipling's poetry ('The Surprising Mr Kipling')

Kipling is seen by some as a stuffy Victorian imperialist devoid of the finer sensibilities. In fact, as Brian Harris contends in this new anthology, his poetry deals with the timeless themes of pain and suffering, forgiveness and redemption, love and hate. Concerned with 'the mere uncounted folk/Of whose life and death is none/Report or lamentation', he berated officialdom for averting its eyes from the poor and hungry peasantry of India and dragged the dirt and squalor of the battlefield into England's elegant parlours. Familiarity, the author argues, has dulled the effect of Kipling's most well known pieces, while other, equally fine, poems have been neglected. What is lacking, he suggests, is not another selection of Kipling's 'best' poems, but one which demonstrates the extraordinary width and depth of the poet's talents and the light which they throw on their great but enigmatic author. Harris concedes that this is a risky strategy which has not been tried before, but believes it is one that, if judged correctly, could introduce many new readers to the full splendour of the poet's verse. The anthology is rounded off with a brief life of Kipling, an account of the extraordinary ups and downs of his reputation and a critical analysis of his verse.

This is a book for the book-lover. As the author writes, 'great and wondrous things can happen around books. Boswell met Johnson at Tom Davies's bookshop in Covent Garden. Karl Marx planned to remodel the world in the Reading Room of the British Museum. Jorge Luis Borges conceived a universe in the form of a vast library. And as a child I spent my Sunday mornings in the Battersea Reference Library awaiting my mother's Sunday roast.' The loss of a library can be a catastrophe, but Brian Harris has made the most of his by inviting the reader to take a trip through the contents of his bookshelves, past and present - from children's books to science fiction, from poets ancient and modern to ground-breaking forms of biography, from literary humour to books on life's deeper issues. He describes how the writings of an English rope maker helped bring about two of the world's greatest revolutions, and how a book moved Abraham Lincoln to take up the cause of emancipation. The author has views on a host of other issues, including the importance of reading to the growing child, the inconvenience of over-weighty volumes, and when plagiarism can be justified. Brian Harris is a retired lawyer and former editor with a number of well received books to his credit on subjects such as Injustice, Intolerance, and the life and works of Rudyard Kipling.
