An attractive copy of this uncommon reprint edition of Kipling's most enduring work of verse in the rare dustwrapper.

Originally written in 1895 IF was inspired by the actions of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson a British Officer whose forces were defeated by the Boers in 1895 but who was portrayed as a victorious hero by the British press the poem is a powerful masterclass in maintaining the British stiff upper lip.
