The series contains some of Kipling's most well-known work including the poems "Gunga Din" "Tommy" "Mandalay" and "Danny Deever" which helped consolidate Kiplings early fame as a poet. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 was an English journalist novelist poet and short-story writer. He was born in British India which inspired much of his work.
