Stalky & Co. by Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) LibriVox Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.)The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life.

As a young man, Billy begins to detest the harbor and longs for escape to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a writer and avoiding his father’s business. With his mother’s blessing, he takes flight to Paris to hone his trade. While in Paris, he meets Joe Kramer (J.K.) and a sometimes stormy relationship begins. J.K. forces him to confront human situations that Billy would prefer to cl Interviews with Anupama Chopra Film Companion Anupama Chopra is a film critic, television anchor and book author.
