Details

My Boy Jack is a powerful and moving account of the tragic life of one of Britain's most prolific poets, Rudyard Kipling, whose legendary storytelling continues to delight millions. The year is 1913 and Britain is on the brink of war with Germany. Kipling's dogged determination to send his young teenage son to the trenches triggers a bitter family conflict. It also leaves the patriotic poet devastated by the warring of his own greatest passions: his love for children, particularly his own, and his devotion to King and Country.
