Product Description
'My Boy Jack?' is the first biography of John Kipling, woven around the extraordinary story of Rudyard Kipling's search for his son. The authors, Tonie and Valmai Holt, intrigued by this unusual and newsworthy action felt drawn into taking the investigation further, to examine the evidence and to question the identification.

 Excellent read! January 9, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I admit I did not know much about Rudyard Kipling, but after seeing the film "My Boy Jack" I wanted to learn to more.
This book was so beautifully written, I actually couldn't put the book down and had it read in about 3 days.
I not only learned a great deal about Rudyard but I also learned a great deal about history. Whether you just love to read or love history, I highly recommend this book.

Although born in England, I knew very little about Rudyard Kipling. This book covers Kipling's life from childhood thru death and shows how his character influenced his only son into joining the Irish Guards at the beginning of the Great War. His son was killed on his first day in combat and his body never recovered. Now, 77 years later, they think they have found him - or have they ? All the evidence is presented for the reader to decide. A good read.
