By all reports, Kipling could be incredibly rude and abrasive but also a
lot nicer than his reputation (from his writing) leads people to believe.
He was nervous man who had a lot of sadness in his later life, but could
be very considerate and charming as well. The general concensus was that
in a lot of ways, he never outgrew his schoolboy persona...
