Nobel Laureate Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is best remembered for children's tales such as The Jungle Book as well as his poetry and stories about British soldiers in India, which include "Gunga Din" and The Man Who Would Be King. Kipling was enormously popular at the turn of the 20th century but his reputation declined with the change in attitude toward British imperialism. In recent years Kipling's works have found new acclaim as a vibrant source of literary and cultural history.
Writer (His Dark Materials, etc). Read like a butterfly, write like a bee. 'Strangely wholesome' - Millie Hoskins, United Agents. Rejoiner.
@stsilasyear3_4 Gosh. My favourite of my own: 'Clockwork'. First ever book I enjoyed: I sometimes say Rudyard Kipling's 'Just-So Stories', but really I suspect it was 'Noddy goes to Toyland'. Advice to young writers: read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read!
