    "This book is an exploration of the way in which the characters in Kipling's short stories use superior knowledge, which often involves deception and the playing of practical jokes. It sets Kipling's use of the practical joke in the wider social context of his time. The book engages with a long-standing critical tradition which treats the jokes as acts of vicarious revenge or symptoms of supposed defects in Kipling's personality. There was early critical hostility to the stance adopted by Kipling's characters, that of a superior knowledge acquired by friendship with a small male circle. In this book Kipling's writing is examined for what it reveals about a complex, self-conscious but powerful range of values rather than what it is supposed to disguise or conceal. Although he endorsed British colonial rule, Kipling was frank about the slackness, the endemic rule-breaking and the second-rate nature of British India. He also criticised some of the widespread cultural, religious and moral phenomena of his time, which he thought harmful. Many of his short stories contain an implied but serious criticism of Victorian beliefs, from attitudes to death-beds and schoolboys to Positivism"--
