Rudyard Kipling
Adventure craft and cadence; empire era tales and poems that probe duty risk and identity.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift."
He was the first British writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1907.
