Many Inventions is an 1893 collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling. 11 of the 14 stories appeared previously in various publications, including The Atlantic Monthly and The Strand Magazine. Eight of the stories were written in England, while the other six were written in Vermont after Kipling had married and settled with Caroline Balestier.[1]
The title refers to a verse from Ecclesiastes, which is quoted on the title page: "Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." (Ecclesiastes 7:29)
