Born in 1865 in India under British rule, his most famous work is The Jungle Book, which has been translated into at least 30 languages and has had about 500 printed editions.

The book has been adapted many times over the years into cartoons and films. He is also well-known for his poem“If-”, a passage of which is used here.
