Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Stoddard Library, Vol. 8: A Thousand Hours of Entertainment With the World´s Great Writers Rudyard Kipling. Born in Bombay, India, December 30, 1865. Author of: "Plain Tales from the Hills," "Soldiers Three," "The Phantom Rickshaw," "Mine Own People," "Life´s Handicap," "Many Inventions," "The Jungle Books," "The Story of the Gadsbys," "The Light that Failed," "The Naulahka," "Captains Courageous," "Departmental and Other Ditties," "Barrack-room Ballads," "The Seven Seas." Kipling is one of the most powerful writers of our time. His stories are graphic and thrilling; his poems are stirring as bugle-notes. Mandalay By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin´ eastward to the sea, There´s a Burma girl a-settin´, an´ I know she thinks o´ me; For the wind is in the palm-trees, an´ the temple-bells they say: "Come you back, you British soldier: come you back to Mandalay!" Come you back to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay: Can´t you ´ear their paddles chunkin´ from Rangoon to Mandalay? O the road to Mandalay, Where the flyin´-fishes play, An´ the dawn comes up like thunder outer China ´crost the Bay! ´Er petticut was yaller an´ ´er little cap was green, An´ ´er name was Supi-yaw-lat - jes´ the same as Theebaw´s Queen, An´ I seed her fust a-smokm´ of a whackin´ white cheroot, An´ a-wastin´ Christian kisses on an ´eathen idol´s foot: Bloomin´ idol made o´ mud - Wot they called the Great Gawd Budd - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
