As a writer, Kipling flourished. His portfolio contained gems like The Jungle Book, The Naulahka: A Story of the West and East and The Second Jungle Book.In 1882, Kipling was told by his parents that they didn’t have enough money to send him to college, and he returned to India. It was a powerful moment in the young writer’s life.

In 1914, the First World War began and Kipling was a passionate supporter of the fight against Germany. He even encouraged his son John to join the army though John had a serious problem with his eyesight. Kipling and his son were very close.
