I happened to go along Villiers Street this morning and noticed that the plaque on "Kipling House" refers to Kipling as a poet and story writer. I'm not sure that this quite describes RK's output to a t, but I wonder how he described himself? Do we know what he put in his passport? ________________________ Professor Tim Connell Director of Language Studies City University Northampton Square London EC1V 0HB tel + 44 (0)20 7040 8265 fax + 44(0)20 7040 8575 www.city.ac.uk/languages
