    About this ebook

    Verses 1889-1896 is a collection of poems by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling was an English novelist, short-story author, lyricist, and columnist. Excerpt:
    "Hail, Mother! Do they call me rich in trade?
    Little care I, but hear the shorn priest drone,
    And watch my silk-clad lovers, man by maid,
    Laugh 'neath my Shwe Dagon."

    Author

    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.
