Customer Reviews

Fill your cup with Kipling.

This is a collection of some of the popular poems, and many were in local papers that never made it to the mainstream. There are some jewels, but we also find a clinker or two. Each reader will find his/her favorite. No illustrations. Selected and edited by Thomas Pinney. A good table of contents and an index of the poem. There is also an index of first lines as "You may talk o' gin and beer". Too bad it was not the last lines as "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!" It is worth investing in stilly notes for your favorite passages. Read again in ten years to see if your taste differs.
