Kipling portrays school as the first stage of a much larger game, a
pattern-maker for the experiences of life. Implied throughout the
stories is the question 'What happened to these fifteen-year-old
boys, and how did the lessons they learned at school apply to the
world of warfare and imperial government?' The stories are based on
Kipling's own school, the United Services College at Westward Ho!
in Devon, which prepared boys destined for the army or for colonial
service; Kipling himself appears as the subordinate character,
Beetle. This edition includes five Stalky stories which did not
appear in the original volume, and thus constitutes a Complete
Stalky & Co. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
