Riassunto

This great collection of Rudyard Kipling's short stories and poems covers the full range of Kipling's career from the 1880s to the 1930s. It includes selections from "Plain Tales" from the Hills, "Traffics and Discoveries", "Just So Stories", "Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses" and many more. All are beautifully illustrated by Sharpe, whose paintings are not only exquisite but help young minds interpret the poems.
