This elegant volume, published by arrangement with Methuen & Co. Ltd., collects the rhythmic and gritty poetry of Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1892. The collection is highly significant for its portrayal of the British soldier's life, featuring some of Kipling's most famous works like "Gunga Din" and "Tommy," which cemented his reputation as a chronicler of the late Victorian era. This edition is presented in a striking red faux-leather or cloth binding with ornate gilt-stamped borders and a matching gold ribbon marker. The book is in very good vintage condition, exhibiting bright gold tooling on the cover, a tight binding, and clean internal pages with only minimal toning, making it a handsome addition to any library.
