Kipling's four productive years in Vermont comprise one of the most fascinating chapters in American literary history. Murray tells the tale with a splendid selection of Kipling's poems which help to bring his subjects to life. His generous use of quotations from letters, diaries, the press, and sundry other sources puts the reader personally into the vivid tapestry of the most productive period in the life of this world-renowned poet, novelist, teller of children's tales, essayist, and proud father.
