Kipling was an English journalist, novelist, poet, and short-story writer, perhaps best remembered for 'The Jungle Book', a short-story collection depicting the adventures of Mowgli, a boy raised in the jungle by wolves. 

Kipling wrote many popular volumes of poetry and short stories, as well as a book of articles about his 1889 travels from India to Burma, China, Japan, and the U.S. en route to England, included here in two volumes.
