$8.00

A wonderful book entitled Letters From The East by Rudyard Kipling. This is a pocket sized book and undated.

Letters from the East is a book of letters written by Rudyard Kipling in 1889. The letters were published in the Pioneer of India. The letters are about the experiences of a young man (John Kipling) preparing to fight as an officer in the Irish Guards. John Kipling was the only son of British author Rudyard Kipling. In the First World War, his father used his influence to get him a commission in the British Army despite being decisively rejected for poor eyesight. His death at the Battle of Loos caused his family immense grief.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) was an English novelist, short-story writer, poet, and journalist. He 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. His children's books are classics.
