Holidaying briefly in France, I learn from a review in Le Monde that volume
4 of the Oeuvres de Rudyard Kipling has just appeared (thirty years after
volume 1). The review is a bit vague about the contents of its 1,460
pages, but it appears to contain Dettes et Creances (Debits and Credits)
and Limites et Renouvellements (Limits abd Renewals) as well as La France
en Guerre, Souvenirs de France (qui ne sont pas extraordinaires) and Mots
sur Moi (Something of Myself). I have a few questions which I would be
glad if anyone could clear up.
What are the stories with the French titles Vues humaines and Quand l'aube
ne tient pas ses promesses?
There is a photograph of RK aged about 40 standing in front of a large
bookcase smoking a pipe, said to be dans la bibliotheque de sa maison de
Dummerston - where was that?
With apologies for the lack of accents
