Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) was a seminal English writer of short stories, novelist, and poet. After the success of The Jungle Book, he became an immensely popular writer and poet for children and adults. His subsequent publications included Stalky and Co. (1899), Kim (1901), Just so Stories (1902), Puck of Pook’s Hill (1906), and The Brushwood Boy (1907). Despite having turned down many honours in his lifetime, including a knighthood and the poet laureateship, in 1907, he accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature – the first English author to be so honoured. He is most famous for his poems concerning British soldiers in India and his wonderful children’s stories.
