Brushwood Boy

Brushwood Boy

by Rudyard Kipling

In Rudyard Kipling's 'Brushwood Boy', we follow the remarkable journey of Major George Cotter as he navigates the complexities of public school, the rigors of Sandhurst, and the adventures of military life in India. However, amidst these experiences, Cotter discovers a hidden world – a dream world that offers an escape from reality and a profound exploration of his subconscious. Through this extraordinary duality, Cotter grapples with questions of identity, purpose, and the boundaries between dreams and reality. Kipling's evocative storytelling and masterful use of language transport readers into a realm where the mundane and the extraordinary intertwine, creating a timeless and thought-provoking tale.
