About the author
1865–1936 · Modern
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was born in Bombay, sent to England at five, and returned to India at sixteen to work as a journalist in Lahore and Allahabad, where the stories collected in Plain Tales from the Hills (1888) were written. Back in England from 1889, and for some years in Vermont, he wrote The Jungle Book (1894), Captains Courageous, Kim (1901), the Just So Stories and a great deal of verse. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, the first English-language writer to receive it.
