About this ebook

British author Rudyard Kipling is well-known for his many novels, short stories, and poems in which he created a world teeming with unforgettable people, animals, and wisdom. The foundation of his literary career was laid in the gloomy house where his mother left him and his sister to be raised by strangers. Often locked in a moldy basement “playroom” to ponder his misdeeds, Kipling survived by concocting a fantasy life. Here, in this short-form book by award-winning journalist Robert Wernick, is Kipling’s fascinating, surprising, and at times, tragic life story.

About the author

Salvador Dali once called him the stupidest man in the world; Cary Grant described him as the smartest. New York Times bestselling author Robert Wernick is certainly talented. He has penned more than a dozen books and has contributed to a host of magazines, ranging from Life to Vanity Fair. His topics are as varied as the birth of town planning in the Mesolithic Age to a soul-baring Ferris-wheel ride with Marilyn Monroe to a climb up Mount Sinai.
