Abstract
This article is an overflow from Kipling’s work on the collection of verse parodies called Echoes, written in collaboration with his sister Trix and published in August 1884. Like the parlour songs in ‘Music for the Middle-Aged’ the verses in Echoes adapt familiar English and American poets to Indian conditions. The last verses in this article — ‘I Had a Little Husband’ — in fact appear in Echoes among the ‘Nursery Rhymes for Little Anglo-Indians’.
