About The Author
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India in 1865 to British parents. He was brought up by a Portuguese ‘ayah’ (nanny) and an Indian servant, who would entertain him with fabulous stories and Indian nursery rhymes.
He was sent back to England when he was seven years old, and lived in a boarding house with a couple who were cruelly strict. Fortunately, he returned to India aged sixteen to work as the assistant editor of a newspaper in Lahore. He began publishing stories and poems and eventually had great success with his book Plain Tales from the Hills.
After his marriage, Kipling settled in America, and it was here that he wrote The Jungle Book. He then moved with his family to England, where he wrote Just So Stories for his daughter Josephine, who later tragically died of pneumonia.
Rudyard Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 and died on January 18, 1936.
