'BlackWood' Tales From The Outposts Book V: Jobs Of Work (1946) By L. Bethel
 
Tales from the Border is a collection of stories from the Blackwood Magazine, one of the most prominent in Europe (it survived from 1817 to 1980). This particular set includes stories, part fiction and part truth from the border of the then British India (which included Pakistan) and Afghanistan. It is written in an English of old, with long sentences, with dry humour sometimes difficult to grasp and features, unsurprisingly, the glorification of the British in India and a humiliating portrayal of the rest of the sub-continent as savage.
