Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

Rudyard Kipling, the famous English writer, was born in Bombay, India, where his father, a professor, worked at that time. Rudyard spent his early years in India. When he was six years old, his parents sent him to England, where he went to school.

Kipling came back to India when he was seventeen years old. At twenty-one, he published his first book of poems. A year later, he wrote a book of short stories about India.

Between 1887 and 1899, Kipling visited many countries and lived for some years in America, where he married an American girl. During that time, he wrote some of his best works. These were his children’s stories about animals and some books on history. He also wrote poems.

At the end of his life, Kipling lived in a small village in England.
