Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India in the year 1865. He learned the language of India from the many servants who took care of him as a young boy. His father was an English artist and scholar. Thus enable Rudyard to speak English, as well as Hindustani. His parents sent him to school in Southsea, England at the age of six. There, he lived with an elderly aunt who treated him cruelly. This unhappy experience can be seen in some of the short stories he later wrote. At age 17, he refused his parentsÕ offer to send him to a university. Instead, he returned to India and began to write his short stories. After moving to the United States in 1892, he married and settled in Vermont. Four years later, he and his wife returned to England. Because of his political views, he lost much popularity, however, when he began to write stories for children, he regained it. In 1907 Rudyard Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Today most critics agree that he was a great writer who contributed many important works to literature. Some of his works include, Wee Willie Winkie, Kim, and Captains Courageous. Kipling died in 1936.
