Dear Reader,
You are lucky you can’t get my germs via email! Being sick for my husband’s 55th birthday and my daughter’s winter break visit has been a bit disappointing! But, I am finally on the mend, and looking forward to a HEALTHY New Year.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very healthy New Year!
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) is a British author, famed for short stories, poems and tales of the British Empire in India. Children may know him best for “The Jungle Book”, a collection of stories first published in magazines in 1893, made into a Disney animated movie in 1967, and then the TV show TaleSpin in 1990. Kipling won the 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature.

The Kipling Society
This illustrated biography from the Kipling Society, although just one page long, is one of the most detailed found online, outside of Wikipedia. The site includes more than 400 poems (in alphabetical order from The Absent-minded Beggar to The Young British Soldier), dozens of reader guides, and an extensive bibliography of books about Kipling and his work. “Rudyard Kipling’s reputation grew from phenomenal early critical success to international celebrity, then faded for a time as his conservative views were held by some to be old-fashioned. The balance is now being restored. More and more people are coming to appreciate his mastery of poetry and prose, and the sheer range of his work.”
Nobelprize.org: Rudyard Kipling
Kipling won the 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature “in consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of this world-famous author”. Visit Nobelprize.org for a Kipling biography, bibliography, and a rare two-minute video of Kipling addressing the Canadian Author’s Association.
