The first of these two short stories is based on Kipling's childhood, and the second on a woman's anguish over the death of her nephew in World War I.

Help with "Old Filth",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baa Baa, Black Sheep and The Gardener (Penguin 60s) (Paperback)
After reading Gardam's "Old Filth", I turned to this book as there are references to it as being important in shaping Gardam's story. It reflects on Kipling's childhood in which the experience of spending years away from home and loving parents affected him. It is hard to say if Kipling's or "Filth's" experience was worse in the trauma each endured but the ramifications are clear as Filth nears death and the reader sees how much of the experience he carried to his death. Am glad to have read this short story in seeing how the one influenced the later.
