About the Author:
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born to British expatriates and lived in India for many years. The time he spent there as a child and later as a newspaper reporter and editor greatly influenced his writing, including such well-known works as Kim, The Jungle Book, and Just So Stories. Kipling traveled the world, living in Vermont for several years, before settling in Sussex, England. In 1907, he became the first Englishman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
