The Prose and Poetry of Rudyard Kipling

Sometimes called the poet of Empire, Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was nevertheless a deeply committed humanitarian writer who understood the essential values of all ethnicities.

His popularity was unrivalled during his lifetime, and, in 1907, he was the first English writer to win the Nobel Prize.

A brief introduction by John Calder is followed by a selection of his work read by actors from the Godot Company.
