writer, born in Bombay. He was educated in England, but was for some
years in the Indian civil service, leaving India, however, in 1889.
Later he married the sister of C. W. Balestier, _supra_, and made his
home in Brattleboro, Vermont, for several years. The greater part of
his work in prose and verse has an East Indian _locale_, but some of
his later stories have an American local colouring. As a writer of
fiction his rank is deservedly high, and in The Seven Seas, as well as
in The Recessional, published after the Queen’s Jubilee of 1897, he
has abundantly vindicated his claim to the title of poet. His prose
comprises Plain Tales from the Hills; Wee Willie Winkie, and Other
Stories; The Light that Failed; Soldiers Three; The Naulahka (with
C. W. Balestier, _supra_); The Jungle Book; The Second Jungle Book;
Captains Courageous; The Walking Delegate; Life’s Handicap; The Day’s
Work; From Sea to Sea, letters of travel; In Ambush; Stalky and Co.;
A Fleet in Being; The Brushwood Boy; Kim; Just So Stories. His verse
includes Barrack-Room Ballads, and Other Verses; Departmental Ditties,
