Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in India at the time of the British Empire. His father was the Headmaster of a school in Bombay, and Kipling was sent at age six to a boarding school in England. He returned to India in 1882, and began work as a journalist on the 'Civil and Military' Gazette, while quickly gaining a reputation as a great writer . Kipling stands as a literary giant with a whole host of classic books to his name such as Kim, and The Jungle Book. Of his many poems his most famous is probably 'If' which even today is the encapsulation of a mini-degree course in human psychology. He received the Nobel prize for literature in 1907, and when he died was buried in Poet's corner at Westminster Abbey.
