Synopsis
He arrived in Bombay on October 18, 1882--"a prince entering his kingdom"--and for the next seven years, his writing established him as a popular and critical, though sometimes controversial, success. Allen has written a brilliant account of these formative years--as a child in India, his unhappy years in England, and his coming of age back "home" in Bombay. in this tale of family and empire, Allen traces the Indian experiences of Kipling's parents, Lockwood and Alice, and reveals what kind of culture the young writer was born into and how it would shape his life and writing over the next twenty years.

Review
Charles Allen prefers to focus exclusively on the glory years preceding Kipling's final return to England in 1900, at age 35, and on the vital Indian experience that provided the raw material for so many of his best-loved works, including the Jungle Book short-story collections and the novel Kim. The book offers a vivid and fully rounded picture of the emotional and physical context of Kipling's apprenticeship as a writer. engaging and colorful. "
