Rudyard Kipling
Died in 1936
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865 and at the age of five was sent to a foster family in England, an unhappy separation that he later described; he returned to India at sixteen as a journalist in Lahore, at the Civil and Military Gazette. He refused most of the British honours offered to him, including a knighthood, but accepted the Nobel Prize in 1907, at the age of forty-one. He lost his son in 1915 and died in London in 1936.
