"The next important task I undertook, was the illustration of an edition of Rudyard Kipling's A Song of the English to be published by Hodder & Stoughton in the year 1908. It became necessary for me to meet the author and discuss the proposed book with him. For this purpose, I travelled down to Burwash where he lived at that time. This was an excursion I shall always remember. I was met at Heathfield and journeyed thence in a motor-car. There were few cars on the road in those days and this in itself was a joyful experience as we drove through the pleasant Sussex lanes. Bateman's, the house at Burwash, where Rudyard Kipling lived, was a fine old building with stone mullioned windows. It was in the midst of wind-blown Sussex country. There was a faint smell of the sea in the air wafted across the few miles of country from the shore where the Coastwise lights of England watch the ships of England go. It was a fitting setting in which to find the author of A Song of the English. He met and entertained me with a quiet affability, which speedily removed the shyness I felt at first in his presence. Before long I was quite at home with him. His own knowledge of illustration gave him an appreciation of the artist's point of view. While making suggestions, he realized that the illustrator must have as free a hand as possible. His sympathetic understanding of my part in the undertaking made me feel that I was consulting with a brother artist. I spent a happy and for me a helpful day. It was a great inspiration for the work I had in hand to be in such close association with the author's interesting personality. I am always glad to remember that he was satisfied with my illustrations to his book." (W. Heath Robinson, My Line of Life. pp.126-127) "This poem originally appeared in The English Illustrated Magazine, May, 1893, prior to its inclusion in The Seven Seas, 1896" (Martindell). Beare 61b.

First edition of this tribute to the recently deceased King Edward VII. Illustrated by William Heath Robinson. 8vo., pp.24 printed on rectos only. The text within illustrated borders by William Heath Robinson. Choicely bound in full purple crushed morocco, original wrappers bound in, lettered in gilt on spine, boards with a gilt rule around the three sides with a flower tool at each end, with the initials "E.W.K." in gilt on upper board. Spine slightly darkened, a little occasional foxing, otherwise a very good copy. "The Dead King' was written as Rudyard Kipling's tribute to King Edward VII after his death on the 6th of May, 1910. The entire writing and publication time was eleven days, being published initially in The Times, The Morning Post and other newspapers on the 18th of May. This poem reads as a traditional elegy from medieval times, being an altogether touching tribute to a man who Kipling regarded as a wise and dedicated monarch who served the country well" (Kipling Society). We have not been able to identify "E.W.K.".
