Binding: Illustrated cloth boards rebacked preserving original cloth. Top edges gilt. Notes: Joseph 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. Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. Henry James said "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius as distinct from fine intelligence that I have ever known." In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first English-language writer to receive the prize and at 41 its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood but declined both. Following his death in 1936 his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. Size: Quarto 245 x 180 mm Pages: 249 pp. Category: Book Literature; George N. Morang & Co., hardcover
