From Sea to Sea by Rudyard Kipling app for iPhone and iPad

"From Sea to Sea" consists of letters or travel reports written by Kipling for his newspapers between 1887 and 1889.

They include both letters from journeys within India between November 1887 and February 1888, and from his journey back to England, from sea to sea, between March and September 1889.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was not yet 25 when he burst onto the literary scene in London, where his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him an instant celebrity.

Rudyard Kipling was the first English writer to win the Nobel Prize (not the Pulitzer) for literature, in 1907. Kipling is a master of the language. His writing is balanced and fluid.

Born in India in 1865 to an upper-class military family, he spent his early years in Britain and India and achieved his initial success as a reporter in India.

He traveled widely and visited the U.S. a number of times, eventually building a house in Vermont. A restless wanderer, he ultimately settled in Sussex, only to have his world tumble into ruins with the death of his son in World War I.

Kipling is very popular for his adult and childrens stories and poems.

Witty, profound, wildly funny, acerbic and occasionally savage, Rudyard Kiplings writings continue to delight readers of all ages.
