Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in India, to which he returned after
boarding school to become a newspaper editor. As he traveled around
India as a reporter, he also began writing short stories, which
quickly became successful. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature
in 1907. After his death in 1936, the popularity of his written works
began to wane, as people started to consider them outdated and too
political. However, his popularity has grown again in recent years,
despite the criticism of others.
