Unabridged Story Collection
1894, 1895
Two classic Rudyard Kipling stories of the Indian jungle:
The King’s Ankus (1895)
The python Kaa takes the manchild Mowgli to the ruined city of Cold Lairs, seeking treasure but finding something far worse.
“These are the Four that are never content,
that have never been filled since the Dews began:
Jacala’s mouth, and the glut of the Kite,
and the hands of the Ape, and the Eyes of Man.”
The Miracle of Purun Bhagat (1894)
A rich man casts away all possessions in the quest for (or from?) his true identity.
“The night we felt the earth would move
We stole and plucked him by the hand,
Because we loved him with the love
That knows but cannot understand.”
Performed by Robert Bethune.

Unabridged Story Collection
1891, 1894, 1902
Three classic elephant stories by Rudyard Kipling:
The Elephant’s Child (1902)
“In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side; but he couldn’t pick up things with it. But there was one Elephant–a new Elephant–an Elephant’s Child–who was full of ’satiable curtiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions.”
Moti Guj Mutineer (1891)
“Once upon a time there was a coffee planter in India who wished to clear some forest land for coffee planting. When he had cut down all the trees and burned the under-wood the stumps still remained. Dynamite is expensive and slow-fire slow. The happy medium for stump clearing is the lord of all beasts, who is the elephant.”
Toomai of the Elephants (1894)
“Kala Nag stood ten fair feet at the shoulders, and his tusks had been cut off short at five feet, and bound round the ends, to prevent them splitting, with bands of copper; but he could do more with those stumps than any untrained elephant could do with the real sharpened ones.”

Unabridged Science Fiction Story
1976
“A haunting post-apocalyptic tale…”
–John Joseph Adams,
Locus
“…has been languishing unreprinted until this exceptional audio edition was released. Production value is high, the sound is exceptionally clear and the reading is lightly, and appropriately accented with music. Alexander Wilson’s reading is haunting and restrained, matching the mournful tone of this short story.”
In a post-catastrophe city, an old man seeks to recreate his past as a concert pianist. First published in the anthology “Beyond Tomorrow,” edited by Lee Harding. As reviewed in Locus and SFFAudio.
Read by Alex Wilson.
