Hi wpruitt, I didn't know that about Kipling. I love his writing. I'm actually a little bit of an Anglophile. I love British history, beer, poetry, Tony Blair and the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher.
I'm actually a little helluva of an Anglophile. I love British history, beer, poetry, Tony Blair and the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, and the original sly dude himself, Churchill.
Ah yes ... Barrack Room Ballads. You know, we have a bit of a claim on Kipling ourselves. He lived in Vermont for a while.
My favorite Kipling poem was written for the Diamond Jubilee - "Recessional" - along with "If"
Favorite Kipling Short Story - Wee Willie Winkie - Can't wait until my nephew is old enough to have it read to him
And second favorite Disney flick ... "The Jungle Book" ... based of course on Mr. Kipling
This is amazing. I can't beieve I've found other Kipling--philes on here at Sly Bald Guys! Great links you guys!
