Rudyard Kipling (1865 1936) was an English novelist, short-story writer, poet, and journalist. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book dilogy (The Jungle Book, (1894); The Second Jungle Book, (1895), Kim (1901), the Just So Stories (1902) and many short stories, including The Man Who Would Be King (1888). He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift."
