Kipling, Rudyard

E. I., 1865- ——. A distinguished English writer, born in Bombay. He was educated in England, but was for some years in the Indian civil service, leaving India, however, in 1889. Later he married the sister of C. W. Bales tier, supra, and made his home in Brattleboro, Vermont, for several years. The greater part of his work in prose and verse has an East Indian locale, but some of his later stories have an American local colouring. As a writer of fiction his rank is deservedly high, and in The Seven Seas, as well as in The Rece ional, published after the Queen’s Jubilee of 1897, he has abundantly vindicated his claim to the title of poet. His prose comprises Plain Tales from the Hills; Wee Willie Winkie, and Other Stories; The Light that Failed; Soldiers Three; The Naulahka (with C. W. Bales tier, supra ); The Jungle Book; The Second Jungle Book; Captains Courageous; The Walking Delegate; Life’s Handicap; The Day’s Work; From Sea to Sea, letters of travel; In Ambush; Stalky and Co.; A Fleet in Being; The Brushwood Boy; Kim; Just So Stories. His verse includes Barrack-Room Ballads, and Other Verses; Departmental Ditties, and Other Verses; The Seven Seas.
