(revisited December 2024)
On August 12th/13th 2017, a 24 hour reading of Kipling’s works was presented by the society from Bateman’s NT, Kipling’s home. It was masterminded by John Walker, then Chairman of the Society, and was a splendidly successful and memorable event.
It was broadcast live to the world and recorded for posterity. The complete audio recording is available to all on our YouTube channel in three 8-hour parts, as also is a condensed 1 hour version presented as a video with supporting images (brilliantly edited by Mark Kipling). Special thanks must also go to James McGrath of the National Trust who sound engineered the whole 24 hours.
These can also be accessed from below.
Here is also a full list of the chosen works and the readers for each 8-hour part. Each reader can be listened to individually.
