Rudyard Kipling was a poet, novelist and short story writer. He was born in Bombay. After his schooling in England he moved to India in 1882, where he began his journalistic career with 'Civil and Military Gazette,' Lahore. By the time he returned to England in 1896, he had published many of his classic children's stories that made him highly popular. In 1907, he became the first British author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. [from the back cover] |
