“IN THE sea, once upon a time, O my Best Beloved, there was a Whale, and he ate fishes.”
Rudyard Kipling was a British author and poet. Born in Bombay, in British India, he is best known for his works of fiction "[The Jungle Book][1]" (1894). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story"; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature.
