Stalky and Co.

Stalky & Co. is a collection of interconnected stories by Rudyard Kipling, published in 1899, that offer a candid and sometimes gritty portrayal of adolescent boys at a British boarding school. Featuring characters inspired by Kipling himself and based on his own school experiences, the stories explore themes of mischief, revenge, and darker elements of school life, presenting a departure from more idyllic tales of childhood.
