From Palm to Pine is a new approach to one of England's most famous men of letters, Rudyard Kipling. Kipling travelled the world extensively and his poems, stories, novels, and letters are imbued with the sights and sounds of East and West. Here Marghanita Laski re-creates Kipling's life and, in particular, his world - one dominated by the British Empire - showing us how he viewed it and reflected it in his writing.
Illustrated in b/w throughout.
