  • Rudyard Kipling wrote IF for his son Jack, who was 12 at the time. Jack later fought in WW1, and was killed at the Battle of Loos. His body was never found.

  • A Poem written from the Soul - and read from the heart, by a very fine actor - and a marvellous man.

    Have always been my favourite words - given life anew, here.

    Thank you, so very much, for uploading this.

  • Very nice reading but this is MS reading "If" by Rudyard Kipling, not "Diary of a church mouse!" .

    It would be very nice to hear MS read that, too, of course!

  • I love this!!! Where did you get it? Will he be doing more poetry?
