Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. He was educated in
England but returned to India as an adult and worked as a journalist.
There, he produced stories, sketches and poems that made him a literary
celebrity when he returned to England in 188. After their marriage,
Kipling and his wife moved to Vermont, where he wrote The Jungle Book.
Published in 1894, it became a children’s classic all over the world.
Tales of every kind, including historical and science fiction,
continued to flow from his pen, including Kim (1901) and the Just So
Stories (1902). From 1902 Kipling made his home in Sussex, but
continued to travel widely and caught his first glimpse of warfare in
South Africa, where he reported in the Boer War. Kipling was the
recipient of many honorary degrees and other awards. He was the first
writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1907, and in 1926 he received
the Gold Medal of the royal Society of Literature. Kipling died in 1936.
