I found this possibly first edition in a used bookstore some decades back, for a mere 25 cents. It's in pretty good shape, and none of the poems it contains are in my two volume Kipling collection. It was interesting to read his works as he and publisher intended at the time, not as a collated "best of" work. It's very short, only 93 pages, and so a quick read. Some of the poetry is as brilliant as you would expect ("Ballad of a Burial"), and some is mere doggerel. A worthy read, offering a insight into the work and times of one of the greats of English literature. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The poems collected here are mostly light verse--"barrack-room ballads," Kipling called them--inspired by Kipling's early adventures as a newspaperman in British colonial India. The first book Kipling published, Departmental Ditties (1886), emphasizes the universality of human experience and the cross-cultural ubiquity of the ignoble and tragicomic aspects of human character.
