Description
Rudyard Kipling's Indian years were a defining period in his life, marked by both hardship and creative flourishing. In 1882, at the age of 17, he returned to India after a difficult experience in England, where he was sent to work on The Civil and Military Gazette with the words 'Kipling will do'. This book tells the story of Kipling's Indian childhood and coming of age, as well as his abandonment in England, through the eyes of Charles Allen. Allen sheds light on the experiences of Kipling's parents, Lockwood and Alice, and reveals the cultural influences that shaped young Rudyard. The result is a work of sympathetic biography that neither shies away from Kipling's flaws nor romanticises his love for India.
