Mary Postgate by Rudyard Kipling narrated by Paul Beauheart.
🪶 About the short story:
“Mary Postgate” was written in 1915 by Rudyard Kipling during the height of anti-German sentiments in England during World War I. Instead of portraying the horrors of trench warfare, Kipling writes a remarkably dark short story about the bitterness felt on the home front. The pagan idolatry and barbarous attitude on display from the female protagonist will make the reader wonder if the revenge is wish fulfillment on Kipling’s part, or perhaps a cautionary tale of sorts. However, you choose to interpret it, I hope that you will enjoy this famous short story about the Great War.
