“This biography is compiled almost entirely from my father’s letters, notebooks, and diaries.  I am, however, indebted to Messrs. Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd. For allowing me to quote from his books, and particularly form his autobiography, The Days of My Life.  Also I must acknowledge the kindness of Mrs. Bambridge for letting me use letters from her father, Rudyard Kipling; and of Mrs John Haggard for permission to print her poems.”
