Informazioni su questo ebook


'If-' is, by British readers' choice, the most popular poem in the language.


This pocket-sized selection of Rudyard Kipling's verse contains not only this classic, but many of his greatest poems, in testimony to a writer who possessed a precocious gift for rhyme and a brilliant ear for language, coupled with a pin-sharp use of spare, vivid imagery.

This pocket-sized selection includes: 'Tommy', 'The Way Through the Woods', 'Recessional', 'Boots', 'The Female of the Species', 'Mandalay', 'Gunga Din', The Young British Soldier' and many more of Kipling's greatest poems.
