MY OWN TRUE GHOST STORY
This index, compiled by David Widger, provides a structured table of contents for multiple Rudyard Kipling ebooks available through Project Gutenberg. Rather than offering new text, it serves as a navigational tool, with hyperlinks to individual chapters of works such as The Jungle Book, Barrack-Room Ballads, and Kim. The catalog subjects list “Indexes” and “general-literature;reference-general,” which accurately describe its function: a reference work that organizes Kipling’s writings without commentary or analysis.
The excerpts reveal that the index is not a reading guide but a practical compilation. It includes a full Project Gutenberg license, indicating its primary purpose is to facilitate free distribution. Users can click on a title to open the entire ebook or on a chapter number to jump to a specific section. This design prioritizes efficiency over interpretation, making it a tool for researchers or readers seeking direct access to Kipling’s texts.
Structure and Navigation
The index is organized as a list of titles, each preceded by a “##” marker that links to a detailed chapter index. For example, “## THE JUNGLE BOOK” leads to a sub-index listing chapters like “Mowgli’s Brothers” and “Kaa’s Hunting,” along with accompanying poems such as “Hunting-Song of the Seeonee Pack.” The same pattern applies to Verses of Rudyard Kipling, which includes poems from Barrack-Room Ballads (e.g., “Tommy,” “Gunga Din”) and The Seven Seas (e.g., “A Song of the English”).
The editor, David Widger, has compiled these links without adding original content. The excerpts show that the index is purely derivative, relying on the existing Project Gutenberg ebooks. This structure allows users to browse Kipling’s oeuvre by volume, but it does not provide summaries or critical context. The index’s value lies in its efficiency: a single page offers access to dozens of works, from Plain Tales from the Hills to Stalky & Co.
Coverage of Kipling’s Works
The index includes a wide range of Kipling’s publications, from children’s classics like The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book to poetry collections such as Barrack-Room Ballads and The Seven Seas. It also covers novels (Kim, The Light That Failed), short story collections (Life’s Handicap, Soldiers Three), and non-fiction (American Notes). The excerpts list 22 titles, but the full index may include more, as indicated by the “CONTENTS” heading and the presence of “THE BRIDGE BUILDERS” and “TABLES OF CONTENTS OF VOLUMES.”
Notably, the index does not prioritize any single work; all are listed alphabetically or by volume. The inclusion of Verses of Rudyard Kipling and Ditties and Ballads suggests a comprehensive approach to his poetry. However, the excerpts do not reveal whether the index covers later editions or lesser-known pieces. The catalog subject “general-literature” aligns with this broad scope, while “reference-general” underscores its utility as a finding aid.
The License and Editorial Context
A significant portion of the excerpts consists of the Project Gutenberg License, which governs the use of the index. This legal text explains that the work is in the public domain in the United States and can be copied, distributed, or modified, provided the Project Gutenberg trademark is respected. The license’s presence indicates that the index is not a standalone literary work but a derivative compilation, subject to the same terms as the underlying ebooks.
The editor, David Widger, is credited with producing the index, but his role is limited to compilation and hyperlinking. The excerpts show no original analysis or annotation. This editorial note is thus constrained: it can describe the index’s structure and coverage but cannot infer Kipling’s themes or quality. The license also includes information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, emphasizing the nonprofit mission of free access. This context is essential for understanding the index’s purpose as a tool for public domain dissemination.
Readers using this index should note that it is a navigational aid, not a critical edition. It offers no introductions, footnotes, or textual variants. To get the most from it, open a linked ebook and explore the chapters directly. The index is best suited for those who already know which Kipling work they want or who wish to browse his output systematically. For first-time readers, starting with a well-known title like The Jungle Book or Kim may be more rewarding than the index itself.
I remember finding this Kipling index once and thinking how oddly moving a bare list of chapters can be—each title a door left ajar. It stirred the same quiet feeling I had with The heathery; or, A monograph of the genus Erica. vol. 3 — Context and Discussion, where every named species felt like a small, faithful recollection of something I’d never seen.
