Britain's Favourite Poet

Everybody knows that Rudyard Kipling is a wonderful children’s writer, the author of stories like The Jungle Book or Just So Stories. But Kipling also wrote many beautiful poems. It may be interesting to know that when the BBC held an opinion poll to find the nation’s favourite poem, Kipling’s poem If was voted number one.

The future poet was born in India. When he was only six years old, his parents sent him to England. There Rudyard spent several unhappy years in a foster family, then went to a boarding school where he was first noticed as a talented young writer.

After leaving school, he returned to India and worked as a journalist. He also wrote poems and stories describing the lives of the British and Indian people. On returning to Britain the author continued writing full time and gained great popularity. He became the first English writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.
