Out of its 40 stories, "eight-and-twenty", according to Kiplings Preface, were initially published in the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, Punjab, British India, between November 1886 and June 1887.

The title refers, by way of a pun on "Plain" as the reverse of "Hills", to the deceptively simple narrative style; and to the fact that many of the stories are set in the Hill Station of Simlathe "summer capital of the British Raj" during the hot weather.
