Rudyard Kipling : Victorian Balladeer

Often RK has his quotes attributed to Oscar Wilde e.g. East is east and West is west and never the twain shall meet ( yep, RK ). Movies based on his work " Jungle Book " / " The Man who Would be King "

Update 12 - 7/12     I'm reviewing my posts and this is the third reference to Kipling. As well,  being an ex-boy scout, I had a lot of references for Kipling. Baden-Powell, founder of the boy scouts when they were really ' boy ' scouts in S. Africa used the  "Jungle book " and Kipling stories as the source for many names used in scouting.
