The Jungle Book: Illustrated Edition

Rudyard Kipling was born on 30 December 1865 in Bombay, to Alice Kipling (nee MacDonald) and John Lockwood Kipling. Kipling spent nearly a decade, from 1883-89 in British India, working for local newspapers such as the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore and The Pioneer in Allahabad. The Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, the newspaper which Kipling was to call his "mistress and most true love," appeared six days a week throughout the year except for one-day breaks for Christmas and Easter. Kipling wrote the Jungle Book in 1894. Other famous works include Kim (1901), The Man Who Would Be King (1888), Gunga Din (1890), and more. Kipling kept writing until the early 1930s, but at a slower pace and with less success. On 12 January 1936, Kipling suffered a hemorrhage in his small intestine. He underwent surgery, but died less than a week later on 18 January 1936 at the age of 70 of a perforated ulcer."
