Tommy and Other Poems For Recitation.

Descripción

First edition of this humorous collection of poems for recitation including Rudyard Kipling's Tommy and Lewis Carroll's The Walrus and the Carpenter. Octavo, original illustrated wrappers. In very good condition. Scarce. English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist Rudyard Kipling's major works include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and many short stories and poems. Kipling was born in India, which inspired much of his work and his innovative stories for children have become timeless classics. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the British Empire, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1907. Kipling's 1890 poem Tommy addresses the ordinary British soldier of Kipling's time in a sympathetic manner, written from the point of view of such a soldier, and contrasting the treatment he receives from the general public during peace and during war.
