Fiery Kipling Marks Seventieth Birthday at Burwash
Rudyard Kipling celebrated his seventieth birthday in Burwash Sussex with his wife and daughter and a few old friends. The famed writer, secluded in his eighteenth century house, has produced little new work recently though his poem The King and the Sea appeared last July for King George’s silver jubilee. Kipling shuns publicity and rarely speaks, save to a few confidants, as villagers recall a reclusive figure who rose to fame with works like Gunga Din and The Road to Mandalay.
