Nobel Prize

The great Poet Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay eighteen sixty-five and died in England nineteen thirty-six. He left India at the age of six years, and during his schooldays, wonderful lyrics were published. Spending four years in America, he wrote two Jungle Books, Captains Courageous, and more popular works. Rudyard Kipling never became a Laureate but Britons regarded him as such...he refused various honours during his lifetime, but in 1907 he accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature... first Englishman to be awarded such a high honour. Rudyard Kipling ~ Joseph from history...today we venerate thee.
