Something of Myself by Rudyard Kipling
Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English, both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James famously said of him: Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known. In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English, both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
