Coles A Song of the English: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Rudyard Kipling's poems trace a vast patriotic landscape in which England is bound together by faith, duty, sacrifice, and imperial purpose. The collection opens with a moral summons in "A Song of the English," then turns seaward in "The Coastwise Lights," honoring the vigilant guardians who keep ships safe along the coast. From there, "The Song of the Dead" and "Follow After" solemnly remember explorers and adventurers who gave their lives in remote, unforgiving places so others might continue the work of discovery. As the poems progress, Kipling expands the vision outward: "The Deep-Sea Cables" imagines the hidden force of global communication, while "The Song of the Sons" and "The Song of the Cities" present overseas Englishmen and imperial cities as living extensions of the mother country. From Bombay and Calcutta to Auckland, each city speaks with distinct pride, hardship, and strategic importance. "England's Answer" closes the sequence in a stern, affectionate exchange, affirming shared blood, mutual obligation, and the disciplined unity of a far-flung empire. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
