    Rudyard Kipling

    Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author and poet who began writing in India and shortly found his work celebrated in England. An extravagantly popular, but critically polarizing, figure even in his own lifetime, the author wrote several books for adults and children that have become classics, Kim, The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Captains Courageous and others. Although taken to task by some critics for his frequently imperialistic stance, the author’s best work rises above his era’s politics. Kipling refused offers of both knighthood and the position of Poet Laureate, but was the first English author to receive the Nobel prize.

      Alright, I know that Herman Melville isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (or should that be coffee, given that Starbucks is named after a character in Moby Dick?), but anyway, I’m going to argue its case. First up, I realise that the book is as thick as a wh
