This book is a short autobiography of the seminal English poet and author Rudyard Kipling. Kipling wrote it in the last year of his life; the unfinished text was prepared for publication by his wife. It has remained in print since its first publication in 1937. It offers a unique insight into the life and mind of this prolific man of letters, who strove to uphold the Victorian values of patriotism, duty, and obedience; yet simultaneously sympathized with outlaws and children. This autobiography outlines his unhappy childhood years in the `House of Desolation`, his doting parents, and the pride he took in his work. The chapters of this book include: A Very Young Person, The School Before Its Time, Seven Years Hard, The Interregnum, The Committee of Ways and Means, South Africa, The Very-Own House, etc. This book is proved to be handy in the context of autobiography.
