This charitable effort by The Daily Mail to raise money for soldiers and their families during the Second Boer War was reportedly the first of its kind. Kipling wrote the lyrics specifically to be used in this fashion and is quoted as saying "It's catchpenny verse and I want it to catch just as many pennies as it can" going on to remark that it is not something he would ever care to reprint "so there is no need of copyrighting it in America. If anyone wants to sing it take care that the proceeds go to our men" Victoria and Albert Museum. The song was an enormous hit and though the exact amount raised is unknown it certainly succeeded in catching a lot of pennies. Enoch & Sons / The Daily Mail unknown books

Puck of Pook's Hill is a historical fantasy book by Rudyard Kipling published in 1906 containing a series of short stories set in different periods of English history. The stories are all narrated to two children living near Burwash in the area of Kipling's own house Bateman's by people magically plucked out of history by the elf Puck or told by Puck himself. Puck who refers to himself as "the oldest Old Thing in England" is better known as a character in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. The genres of particular stories range from authentic historical novella A Centurion of the Thirtieth On the Great Wall to children's fantasy Dymchurch Flit. Each story is bracketed by a poem which relates in some manner to the theme or subject of the story. In a half-calf binding. Externally smart though with some sunning to the spine and some light rubbing. Internally firmly bound. Ink signature to recto of front free-endpaper. Pages are mainly bright and clean.
