Kipling’s early collected poems, combining the Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses with the poems of The Seven Seas. Here are the soldier’s-eye songs of Tommy, Gunga Din, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, The Widow at Windsor and Screw-Guns, alongside ballads of the sea, the empire and the men who built it. The imperial attitudes are those of the 1890s.
The poems that made Kipling a household name, full of rhythm and the voices of ordinary soldiers. Download the free EPUB.
