Find books by Rudyard Kipling on AbeBooks: http://www.abebooks.com/books/jungle-... • The name Rudyard Kipling is famously associated with The Jungle Book, Kim and the Just So Stories - but Kipling was also acclaimed for his poetry and short works of fiction years before his children's tales enthralled the world. • • He often wrote about the common soldier during Britain's colonial era, tales from the streets of India, then a British colony, and offered thoughts on America and its rapid development. With a prolific career spanning 44 years, it's easy to miss many essential Kipling works by concentrating on his most famous books. • • In 1888, his book of 40 short stories about English life in India, Plain Tales from the Hills, was his first real success and with it came literary fame. • • Later in 1897, 10 years before he was awarded the Nobel Prize, he published Captains Courageous -- a novel about the son of a wealthy railroad tycoon. • • At the age of six Kipling was sent from his home in India to a British boarding school to receive a proper English education . His experiences abroad helped shape his 1899 novel, Stalky Co. He later donated the manuscript to the school. • • Puck of Pook's Hill is a series of short stories told by a magical sprite named Puck. The semi-historical stories were written for his own children and published in 1906. Later, a second volume called Rewards and Fairies was also released. • • He also wrote about dogs, a favorite subject for many British readers at the time. The stories were told from the perspective of the dog, Boots, a black Aberdeen terrier. • • Subscribe to the AbeBooks Channel: / abebooks • You will see book reviews, bookshops, top 10s, rare and beautiful books, tips for book collectors, author profiles and much more.
