All Episodes - Stalky & Co. (More Stories)

Dive into this captivating collection that features additional stories by Rudyard Kipling, spotlighting the beloved characters from Stalky & Co. While these tales were mysteriously left out of the original book, they offer delightful insights and humor reminiscent of adolescent life and the timeless struggles against adult authority. Among the highlights is Stalky, the inaugural story penned in 1898, which perfectly encapsulates the charm and wit of Kiplings portrayal of young boys. Regulus also delivers a hearty dose of humor, though it may feel more challenging to modern readers unfamiliar with classical education. Unfortunately, some tales like The United Idolators and The Propagation of Knowledge remain under copyright, as do others that are less accessible, including Scylla and Charybdis. If you cherished Stalky & Co, these extra narratives are sure to enchant you. (Introduction by Tim Bulkeley)
