He is buried in Arlington Cemetary his wife next to him. A reviewer wrote: ""The Shadow of Glory is written with so much reason and with such an air of verity that politicians diplomats commanders and rulers may well take heed and realise that unless there is some strong united effort for peace universal war will soon involve all the great nations of the earth."" The author realising that an appendixis unusual for a purely imaginary story provides an Introduction to his long Appendix pp. 385-440 that as the reviewer said ""contains lists of the navies and Powers engaged their battle organisation the war strength of the land forces explanatory notes on technical details and a bibliography of naval and military subjects international law and statistical works which make valuable reference for those interested in the preservation of the world's peace.""

Kipling's popular series of tales set in different historical eras including Roman Britain Anglo-Saxon England The Norman Conquest The Middle Ages and the Tudor Period. The stories are all told to two children living near Pevensey East Sussex by characters magically plucked out of history by 'Puck'. Traditionally the term 'Puck' referred to a malicious spirit or demon of popular superstition and from the 16th century the name of a mischievous goblin or Hobgoblin similar to that appearing in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' the fairy scene from which is acted out here. Although 'Puck' is seen as a children's book in the same way 'Treasure Island' or 'King Solomon's Mines' are viewed the story-tellers are adults and the romances they describe would only be suitable for older readers.

Roycroft was a reformist community of craft workers and artists which formed part of the Arts and Crafts movement in the USA. Elbert Hubbard founded the community in 1895 in the village of East Aurora Erie County New York. Elbert Hubbard had been influenced by the ideas of William Morris on a visit to England. He was unable to find a publisher for his book Little Journeys so inspired by Morris's Kelmscott Press decided to set up his own private press to print the book himself founding Roycroft Press. His championing of the Arts and Crafts approach attracted a number of visiting craftspeople to East Aurora and they formed a community of printers furniture makers metalsmiths leathersmiths and bookbinders. In 1915 Hubbard and his wife noted suffragette Alice Moore Hubbard died in the sinking of RMS Lusitania and the Roycroft community went into a gradual decline.
