Kipling for Children (1965)

Sutcliff's 2000-word essay on Rudyard Kipling as a children's author and her experience of reading him as a child, written for the December 1965 issue of The Kipling Journal. Sutcliff had earlier published the monograph Rudyard Kipling on the same subject in 1960; parts of the article echo it closely.

The Kipling Society has put its back issues online, so you can read the article in its original context, and the Sutcliff estate's blog has also reposted the article. The cited works by Kipling are available on Project Gutenberg, LibriVox, and other public domain book sites.

Many thanks for linking to this -- it was an interesting read and definitely clarified some of ways Sutcliff's writing was influenced by Kipling's.
