Query: Delightful

I assume this is the book co-authored with Fletcher (alternatively titled as "Kipling's Pocket History of England"). One can purchase used copies quite inexpensively--especially given the contemporary odious reputation of the author. History will out.This text was written for British school children (ala Dickens's). It is lots of fun. Short and succinct with Kipling's pertinent historical poems scattered throughout. Of course, it contains all of Kipling's well-known prejudices. Still a real treat--particularly given that it stops at 1911, right before the Great War. Very revealing of the British mind-set just prior to that calamity.
