Listen to "The Ballad of East and West":

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently af God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!

Hear about "The Cat That Walked by Himself," learn one of the laws of the jungle in "Mowgli's Brothers", feel the excitement of travel in "The Beginning of the Armadilloes," and much more in the poems of Rudyard Kipling. The structure, rhythms, and rhymes of his words—and the stories they weave—will spark the imagination of children. So will the vivid, thrilling illustrations that will open up a world of exploration, foreign lands, and wild animals to them. Art and verse come together in a volume that will be treasured for years to come.

Work Description

Although Rudyard Kipling is chiefly remembered as the author of such classicsas Kim and The Jungle Book, he was also a prodigious and widely read writer of verse, and is considered by many to be the poet of the British Empire. His poetry, like his fiction, gives eloquent expression to the lives of unsung men and women, children, and animals. Witty, profound, acerbic, and occasionally savage, Kipling's poetry can be both tender and deeply moving. This complete, definitive collection of his verse will delight and enthrall readers of all ages.
