This anthology of Kipling's most famous poems - "If", "Mandalay", "Gunga Din" - is taken from the Naxos AudioBooks "Great Poets" series. Though sometimes still regarded as a product of the colonial era, Kipling touches a very popular nerve in Britain's literary tradition, and is regarded more generously now as a master of popular verse. It is often forgotten that he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907.
