Paffard reveals how Kipling’s development as a writer is shaped by his need to respond differently to a changing world: imperialist ideology and conservatism dictate the stories that he sets out to write, and his imagination and sympathy shape the stories that are finally written.

“Paffard is a keen and meticulous reader of Kipling. ... He has made me want to revisit and reappraise several stories, which is surely a mark of his success. ... It is an expensive book, but a valuable and significant one: insightful, engaging and challengingly written, well researched and referenced, and with a workable index. … For this he deserves congratulation, and a wide readership.” (Kipling Journal, Issue 398, May, 2024)
