“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug ever used by mankind.” – Rudyard Kipling
A prolific writer, Kipling was born in Bombay, India on Dec. 30, 1865. Educated in
England, he started his writing career with a series of essays called
"Departmental Ditties." But it was his epic novels and short stories
that brought him lasting fame. Kipling is probably best known for The Jungle Book as well as Captains Courageous, and, of course, his “Just So” stories. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1907.
Rudyard Kipling
Considered one of the
greatest English writers, he ironically wrote most of his best-known stories
while residing
in America – particularly Brattleboro, VT, where he lived for many years
after his marriage to American Caroline Balestier in 1892.
Friendly and optimistic, Kipling
once noted, “I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much
trouble.”
