Of Ghosts and Kings...
It's a collection of stories, crafted together into an odd, but
very readable, book. The work's namesake, The
Phantom 'Rickshaw, is actually very good, as was the story of the author's
own brush with the paranormal, My Own True
Ghost Story. However, the real draw
is the last story...it's the one that everyone knows about and wants to
read...a story that seems lost among the others, and different, almost out of
place, and much more famous that the other three...The Man Who Would Be
King.
It's a bit early for ghosts, seeing as Halloween is next
month, but let's get a bit of a taste...shall we?
