About the Author:

Andrew Lycett received a history degree from Oxford University before becoming a journalist at the Sunday Times (London), where he served as a foreign correspondent in Africa and the Middle East. He has written acclaimed biographies on Ian Fleming, Dylan Thomas, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, Muammar Qaddafi, and Rudyard Kipling. He lives in London.



Frederick Davidson (1932-2005), also known as David Case, was one of the most prolific readers in the audiobook industry, recording more than eight hundred audiobooks in his lifetime, including over two hundred for Blackstone Audio. Born in London, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and performed for many years in radio plays for the British Broadcasting Company before coming to America in 1976. He received AudioFile's Golden Voice Award and numerous Earphones Awards and was nominated for a Grammy for his readings.

Review:

Andrew Lycett's biography is very good...especially good in his analysis of the marriage with Carrie.

-- "Daily Telegraph"

Magnificently thorough biography...magisterial study.

-- "Independent"

Fascinating...another valuable step along the road to restoring most of Kipling's art, and much of his character, to comply with today's more severe standards of respect.

-- "Mail"

The best book on a misunderstood man for twenty years...Excellent on Kipling's emotions.

-- "Sunday Times"

Richly detailed...will still be read after the latest psycho-histories and literary deconstructions have deconstructed one another to bits.

-- "Sunday Telegraph"
