{"product_id":"9781518887628","title":"Barrack-Room Ballads (annotated)","description":"The Barrack-Room Ballads are a series of war songs and war poems by Rudyard Kipling, dealing with the late-Victorian British Army and mostly written in a vernacular dialect. The series contains some of Kipling's most well-known work, including the poems \"Gunga Din\", \"Tommy\", \"Mandalay\", and \"Danny Deever\", helping consolidate his early fame as a poet.\u003cp\u003eThe first poems were published in the Scots Observer in the first half of 1890, and collected in Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses in 1892. Kipling later returned to the theme in a group of poems collected in The Seven Seas under the same title. A third group of vernacular Army poems from the Boer War, titled \"Service Songs\" and published in The Five Nations (1903), can be considered part of the Ballads, as can a number of other uncollected pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033116131568,"sku":"9781518887628","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781518887628_p0.jpg?v=1763729378","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781518887628","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
