Happy Birthday Rudyard Kipling (1865)

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English journalist, novelist, poet and short-story writer. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling’s works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology (The Jungle Book, 1894; The Second Jungle Book, 1895), Kim (1901), the Just So Stories (1902) and many short stories, including „The Man Who Would Be King“ (1888).[2] His poems include „Mandalay“ (1890), „Gunga Din“ (1890), „The Gods of the Copybook Headings“ (1919), „The White Man’s Burden“ (1899) and „If—“ (1910). He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children’s books are classics; one critic noted „a versatile and luminous narrative gift“. Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom’s most popular writers. Henry James said „Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known.“ In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, as the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and at 41, its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood, but declined both. Following his death in 1936, his ashes were interred at Poets‘ Corner in Westminster Abbey. We celebrate this fantastic author with an AI Image of his most famous book …

Happy Birthday Roald Dahl (1916)

Roald Dahl (13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British author of popular children’s literature and short stories, a poet, screenwriter and a wartime fighter ace. His books have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide. He has been called „one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century“. Dahl was born in Wales to affluent Norwegian immigrant parents and lived for most of his life in England. He served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. He became a fighter pilot and, subsequently, an intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for children and for adults, and he became one of the world’s best-selling authors. His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement and the British Book Awards‘ Children’s Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of „The 50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945“. In 2021, Forbes ranked him the top-earning dead celebrity.
