About the Author - Mowgli in Trouble | New Gems English Reader | Class 6 Literature | English
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author, poet, and journalist, best known for his extensive work in children's literature. Born in Bombay, British India, Kipling spent his early years in India before moving to England for his education. He returned to India as a young adult and started his career as a writer and journalist.
Kipling's most famous works include "The Jungle Book" (1894), a collection of stories featuring the adventures of Mowgli, a young boy raised by animals in the Indian jungle, and "Just So Stories" (1902), a collection of origin tales for children. His other notable works include the novel "Kim" (1901) and the poems "Ifβ" (1910) and "Gunga Din" (1890).
Throughout his career, Kipling's work celebrated British imperialism, earning him both praise and criticism. In 1907, he became the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Despite his controversial views, Kipling's impact on children's literature and his contributions to the English literary canon remain significant.
