In 1901, Kipling and his family settled in Sussex, England, permanently. For several years he traveled the world, both with his family and alone, spending the Boer War in South Africa, continuing to publish both prose and poetry, including the novel Captains Courageous and Just-So Stories. Kipling married in 1892 and left his beloved India for Vermont, where he continued his fascination with India by writing the two Jungle Books and Kim. In the early 1890s, Kipling gained worldwide fame with the publication of Barrack-Room Ballad, in which were two of his most famous poems, the exotic “Gunga Din” and “Mandalay.” These poems brought the experience of Britons in India to the world at large, and only encouraged Kipling to continue to write poems and stories about India, tales and verses of adventure that brought a country unknown to most to readers worldwide. Only two years later, he published his first book of prose, Plain Tales from the Hills. In 1886, Kipling’s first collection of poetry, Departmental Ditties and Other Verses was published. Kipling’s first – and only job – was as a writer, beginning as a journalist and editor for a magazine for Britons living in India. Uncomfortable in England, Kipling returned to India as soon as he was able, at the age of 17. At the age of five, young Kipling was sent to England to be educated, a traumatic experience that marked his childhood. A favorite of readers both young and old, known the world over, Rudyard Kipling’s poems – and stories – have proven both popular and evergreen.īorn Joseph Rudyard Kipling in 1865, Kipling was the son of Britons born in Bombay, India. Few poets are more beloved by more people than Rudyard Kipling.
