Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay on 30 December 1865, but
educated in England at the United Services College, Westward Ho, Bideford. In
1882 he returned to India, where he worked for Anglo-Indian newspapers, writing poetry and fiction in his spare time. Books such as Plain Tales from the Hills (1888) gained success in England, and in 1889 Kipling went to live in London. A
prolific writer, he achieved fame quickly, he was an immensely popular writer and poet for children and adults.
He turned down many honours in
his lifetime, including a knighthood and the poet laureateship, but in 1907, he
accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first English author to be so
honoured.
