Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling was a British author best known for his children’s books including The Jungle Book and is regarded as one of the most important contributors to the short story form. Rudyard Kipling was born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, India where his father, John Lockwood Kipling was an artist and teacher of architectural sculpture at the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art. He spent the first six of his life in India, where he was cared for by an Indian nanny, whom he later referred to as his ‘very dear friend’ who inspired many of his stories. Kipling returned to India in 1882, where he worked as a journalist and began to establish himself as a writer. Throughout his life, Kipling travelled extensively and lived in various countries and all of those experiences reflected in his work. His writing was highly popular in his time, and it earned him several awards and honours including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.
