I love this book I came across it in what we call a charity shop in Southgate North London where I was teaching at the time.
When I got home I scanned through the book to find on the inside page that the book belonged to a a Mr Alan Titchmarsh of the BBC London.
No idea if he lost it or threw it out, as a bibliophile and collector of books if he lost it I would give it back to him as I know the pain of losing a book I love.
My favourite Kipling poem is 'If'. ( )

This volume of 845 pages contains most of the poetical output of Rudyard Kipling. Many of his poems could be described as 'Jingoistic' and rightly so,but nevertheless they are still undoubtedly poems that still move the reader today. Even though the events leading to the composition of many of these pieces are long forgotten,still such poems as 'Boots' and 'The 'Eathen' will be well remembered. I love the poems ' The Glory of the Garden ' and 'Gunga Din'. Some,including this last maybe considered not to be politically correct in this day-and-age,but if read carefully,they will be seen to be full of respect for native troops ect.
Many will deride what is probably Kipling's most well-known piece 'IF----',but again if you read it carefully and take in his words,you will not go very far wrong,I believe. "If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a man,my son! ( )

While not everything he wrote was great --- sometimes he reminds me of Beerbohm's cartoon of Kipling on the town with his girl Britannia -- there is enough funny, moving and beautiful stuff in here to last me a lifetime. ( )

Men make them fires on the hearth
Each under his roof-tree,
And the Four Winds that rule the earth
They blow the smokes to me.
