Wee Willie Winkie and Other Child Stories by Rudyard Kipling

Wee Willie Winkie and Other Child Stories by Rudyard Kipling featuring Wee Willie Winkie Baa, Baa, Black Sheep His Majesty the King The Drums of the Fore and Aft His is the last book of the series, and it nat urally ends with the little children, who always trot after the tail of any procession. Only women understand children thoroughly; but if a mere man keeps very quiet, and humbles him self properly, and refrains from talking down to his superiors, the children will sometimes be. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay in December 1865. He returned to India from England shortly before his seventeenth birthday, to work as a journalist first on the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, then on the Pioneer at Allahabad. The poems and stories he wrote over the next seven years laid the foundation of his literary reputation, and soon after his return to London in 1889 he found himself world-famous. Throughout his life his works enjoyed great acclaim and popularity, but he came to seem increasingly controversial because of his political opinions, and it has been difficult to reach literary judgements unclouded by partisan feeling.
