The River's Tale by Rudyard Kipling with text

"The River's Tale" was written by Kipling to serve as the introduction to a history of England for schoolchildren written by C.R.L.Fletcher. In all, Kipling contributed twenty- two original poems, or twenty-three if the two "American Rebellion" poems are counted separately, as they sometimes are. The book was published in July 1911 in two different formats. One, was large, lavishly laid out, and at 7/6d (37 1/2p in today's currency) expensive. It was called A History of England. The other was small, relatively cheap at 1/8d (8 pence in today's currency), functional in appearance, and given the significantly different title of A School History of England. The relative importance attached by Fletcher and Kipling to the two books can be seen from the initial print runs. Only 5000 copies of A History of England were printed. This compared with 25,000 copies of the School History.
