Rudyard Kipling’s funny and acerbic verse continues to delight readers of all ages. Included here is the famed “Gunga Din,” a poem from the perspective of a British soldier, saved by a native—who dies—and reads as a commentary on racism. This collection illustrates the scope and originality of Kipling’s work.

About the Author

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. The Jungle Book, which he published in 1894, became a children’s classic all over the world. Tales of every kind continued to flow from Kipling’s pen, including Kim (1901) and Just So Stories (1902). Kipling was the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and in 1926 he received the Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Literature.
