RUDYARD KIPLING
ENGLISH NOVELIST, POET AND SHORT STORY WRITER
Born in Bombay (India) in 1865.Died in London in 1936.Notable works:The Jungle Book (1894), short story collectionCaptains Courageous (1897), novelKim (1901), novelRudyard Kipling is considered one of the most eminent English writers of his generation and is remembered for his writings on the British Empire, India and his children’s stories. Although his infamous celebration of European imperialism means that he is sometimes regarded as antiquated and problematic in the context of increasingly socially liberal Western societies, his novels, stories and poetry are highly regarded for their expertise, ingenuity and vibrancy. He was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1965 to English parents and, after being educated in England, returned to India to work as a journalist. It was here that he began publishing his poetry and short stories, and he returned to England in 1889 to fanfare about the quality and popularity of his writing. In England Kipling found himself increasingly well-regarded as a writer and embarked on a prolific career that included a huge number of short stories and poetry collections, as well as four novels. In 1907, he became the first English person to win the coveted Nobel Prize for Literature, and he continued to write right up to his death in 1936, at the age of 70.
JUST SO STORIES
ANIMAL ORIGIN STORIES
Genre: short story collectionReference edition: Kipling, R. (1986) Just So Stories. London: Cox & Wyman Ltd.1stedition: 1902Themes: animals, origins, identity, children’s stories, magic, British Empire, India, religion, natureThe Just So Stories are a collection of children’s tales that concern the fantastical origins of various animals’ characteristics. Kipling originally came up with the stories to tell his daughter Josephine at bedtime, and they are named as such because she demanded that they be told in exactly the way that she was used to. The stories were published in a children’s magazine a year before her death in 1902 and have since become known as classics within the children’s literature genre. The stories were well received after being published and have become some of Kipling’s most well-remembered works. The stories have also been made into a variety of film, television and musical adaptations, including a 12-part British cartoon adaptation.
