580- Rudyard Kipling and his world, by Kingsley Amis (read 19 Apr 2023) This is a 1973 book which discusses Kipling's life and work. The book has less than 130 pages and is amply illustrated. It is well-written and I found it informative. I have read 3 books by Kipling: Kim, Soldiers Three, and Captains Courageous--none of which I was overly impressed by. At least as of 1973 Kipling was the youngest person to receive a Nobel prize. ( )
