Rudyard Kipling, born in Mumbai, India in 1865, but educated in England, returned to India as a young man and began working as a journalist. By the time his collection of short stories was published in 1888, Kipling was 23 years old and living in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was his ninth collection of short stories or poetry to be released.
Ernest Pascal, a novelist who had been writing adaptations and screenplays since the early 1930s, and Julien Josephson, who had received an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay of Disraeli (1929), were credited with the adaptation for film.
