Poems of Rudyard Kipling Nathan Haskell Dole Rudyard Kipling 9781289825348 Books Reviews
The Gramercy edition of "The Poems Of Rudyard Kipling" is a beautiful little volume. Good size to carry around if you want, hardcover with sewn in ribbon marker. It includes a small but good selection of Kipling's most famous work If, The Ballad Of East And West, Last Of The Light Brigade, Gunga Din, Mandalay, When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted, My Boy Jack, thirty-nine in all. (If you have a question about the others, please send me a comment-note). The illustrations by W. Heath Robinson, 10 full pages, are beautiful, appropriate to the time and poems, and all pages are decorated with gold header patterned bands. The end papers are in a dark gold. Gilt titles on a black buckram spine and smooth paper covered boards illustrated with the cloud people of the poem The Last Chantey. The Gramercy edition is a good selection and the pages are spaciously laid out with print at about 10 points, so respectably readable. There is no index of first lines in the Gramercy.
The book's portrayal on is not entirely correct though. Two of the illustrations shown there are not in the copy of the book I received the woman floating on the waves is missing, as is the ship seen floating from below. The book is 124 pages, but it is really 5.75 inches (14.7 cm) wide, not 6 inches as stated. It is 8.5 inches (21.7 cm) tall and nine sixteenths (1.5 cm) thick. This beautiful little edition is well worth having.
Kipling's "Complete Verse" runs to hundreds of pages, 704 in a Kyle Cathie edition, (with a foreword by M.M. Kaye), of tiny cramped print, about 7 points, some italic, hard to tell why, almost unreadable. The Contents list the poems alphabetically, and the book orders the poems virtually randomly, not by theme, not by chronology, and not alphabetically. There is an index of first lines, 16 pages long, again of tiny print, in the Kyle Cathie. Kipling was prolific. It should be noted however, this "Complete Verse" is not complete. Fifty more previously unknown poems were discovered in 2013.
In 1907 Kipling was the first English language Nobel Laureate for Literature and the youngest to that date. His politics and views remain controversial, but his writing gifts are undeniable.
A pleasure to read with my grandchildren!
