Kipling was born in British India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology (The Jungle Book, 1894; The Second Jungle Book, 1895), Kim (1901), the Just So Stories (1902) and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If - " (1910). He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. Henry James said "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, as the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and at 41, its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood, but declined both. Following his death in 1936, his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner, part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey. Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed with the political and social climate of the age. The contrasting views of him continued for much of the 20th century. Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: "[Kipling] is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognised as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with." The collection of Barrack-Room Ballads was issued in March 1892, first published individually for the most part in 1890, and contained his poems "Mandalay" and "Gunga Din". Signed by author.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. [Interesting provenance, given as a gift by Roland B. Scott.] 1949 printing. Hardcover and dust jacket. Tears to jacket. Dust jacket in protective mylar cover. Good binding and cover. Gift inscription to Roland Scott Jr. from his parents on verso. Bookplate of Scott also on verso. "Roland B. Scott was a Washington pediatrician who founded Howard University's Center for Sickle Cell Disease and received international acclaim for researching the painful genetic blood disorder that predominantly affects blacks. Dr. Scott was chairman of pediatrics at Howard from 1949 to 1973 and also had a private pediatric practice in the city. By the 1950s, with a growing reputation for his sickle cell research, he was among the first black doctors granted privileges at such facilities as Children's and Providence hospitals, according to press reports at the time. The Washington Post noted then that several hospitals had an 'unwritten ban against Negro physicians.' Dr. Scott started the Center for Sickle Cell Disease in 1972 with a grant from the National Institutes of Health and remained director until his retirement in 1990." - Washington Post Obit.
