2) Lethal white
5) The silkworm
Khalil Gibran (1883–1931) was Lebanese by birth but spent a major part of his life in America in the early part of the twentieth century. He wrote many collections of stories with a wise or whimsical tone, but none more popular than The Prophet, his first collection, or The Wanderer, his final anthology. They are read here with great sympathy and understanding by Robert Glenister.
12) Rudyard Kipling
This anthology of Kipling’s most famous poems – If, Mandalay, Gunga Din – is taken from the Naxos AudioBooks Great Poets series. Though sometimes still regarded as a product of the colonial era, Kipling touches a very popular nerve in Britain's literary tradition, and is regarded more generously now as a master of popular verse. It is often forgotten that he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907.
