Autorenporträt

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English artist, brief tale essayist, and author, primarily associated with his works for young children and supporting the British government. He was born in British India in the nineteenth century and was shipped off to England when he was six years old for his schooling. Later, he got back to India to start his profession as a columnist, however, shortly after coming here, he went back to his native country where he focused full time on writing.

Subsequently, Rudyard turned out to be more fluent in their language than in English. However, every one of these changed unexpectedly in 1871, when both the siblings were sent to homes in England to be instructed under the British framework. Showing up in England in October, they set up with Captain Pryse Agar Holloway and his significant other Sarah, who boarded offspring of British nationals serving in India in their home at Southsea, Portsmouth.
