Author Info: Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865–18 January 1936), was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. He was born in Bombay, and was taken by his family to England when he was just five years old. Memories of India had by then been indelibly created in his mind. He came back to India at the age of seventeen and was supposed to be assistant editor of a small local newspaper, the Civil and Military Gazette. But his unstoppable urge to write made him an avid writer. In 1886, he published his first collection of verse, Departmental Ditties. The new editor of the newspaper allowed more creative freedom and Kipling was asked to contribute short stories.
