The Man Who Would Be King and With the Night Mail

Two Englishmen decide to make themselves kings of a country beyond the Khyber, and very nearly do-together with Kipling's science fiction of the transatlantic mail airships and the men who fly them. The two most unlike things he wrote, in one volume. This edition includes sixty plates of paintings bound with the text, among them works by William Simpson, John Mix Stanley and Marianne North.
