Witty, profound, wildly funny, acerbic and occasionally savage, Rudyard Kipling's poems continue to delight readers of all ages. Included are both the familiar favorites and Kipling's lesser-known works. This is the only complete collection of Kipling's poems available in paperback.

When Rudyard Kipling died in 1936, he was considered second to none as a poet, and had been described as greatest democratic English poet. Tennyson described "young Kipling" as "the only one with divine fire." In this fully revised and meticulously researched edition--the only complete edition of his verse in paperback--Kipling's poetry captivates readers with characters that have become enshrined in literature.

With the possible exception of William Shakespeare, no English poet has so enriched the language with fragment phrases of verse as has Rudyard Kipling. Described as 'the greatest democratic English poet, he versified emotions which the average man instantly recognises with the energy and vividness of a man of genius.' This edition of his complete verse of over 700 pages offer Danny Deever and Gunga Din, Judy O'Grady and the Colonel's Lady, in company with a wealth of less familiar creations, all of them contributing to Kipling's reputation as poet, fiction-writer and balladeer, especially among the working - and middle-class readers for whom he wrote.
