About the author

Rudyard Kipling

1865–1936

Best known for The Jungle Book, Kim, and poems like “If—,” he wrote adventure stories and verse that helped shape English-language reading for both children and adults. His work is still lively and memorable, even as readers continue to debate the imperial ideas woven through much of it.
