A Fleet in Being is Rudyard Kipling’s account of the time he spent with what was called the Channel Squadron. His interest in every detail of the fleet, its operations, and the seamen devoted to their profession comes alive here and presents a valuable portrait of the Royal Navy at an interesting time in its development.

About the Author

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. The Jungle Book, which he published in 1894, became a children’s classic all over the world. Tales of every kind continued to flow from Kipling’s pen, including Kim (1901) and Just So Stories (1902). Kipling was the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and in 1926 he received the Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Literature.
