Something of Myself, Rudyard Kipling

Something of Myself is a collection of essays/chapters/writings by Rudyard Kipling describing his life; his childhood, working life and the places he has lived. I was expecting it to be 'of the times' and was aware of Kipling's more controversial opinions which led me to think it would be an interesting read.



The writing though is so of it's time that it became completely obtuse in places and was a drag to read. Certainly not one just to dip in and out of, only for those with a sincere (and already well researched) love of or fascination with Mr Kipling.
