Samuel West reads ten of Rudyard Kipling's famous tales, as broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English short-story writer,
poet, and novelist. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in
India and stories for children. He was born in Bombay, in the
Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to
England when he was five years old.
Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (a collection of
stories which includes "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"), the Just So Stories
(1902), Kim (1901), 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 regarded as a major
innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are
enduring classics of children's literature; and one critic
described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous
narrative gift".
Sam West's readings were superb ...He brought to mind Martin Jarvis
doing Just William – and praise doesn't come any higher than
that.
