About the book
Although Rudyard Kipling is chiefly remembered as the author of such classicsas Kim and The Jungle Book, he was also a prodigious and widely read writer of verse, and is considered by many to be the poet of the British Empire. His poetry, like his fiction, gives eloquent expression to the lives of unsung men and women, children, and animals. Witty, profound, acerbic, and occasionally savage, Kipling's poetry can be both tender and deeply moving. This complete, definitive collection of his verse will delight and enthrall readers of all ages.
