Just So Stories
(New York): Doubleday, Doran & Company. 1928. Binding: Full green pictorial cloth boards. , 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.
