Jansy asked:
What was VN's opinion about R.Kipling?

In a 1965 interview, VN lists Kipling among the writers he was especially fond of as a boy: "between 8 and 14 I used to enjoy tremendously the romantic productions--romantic in the large sense--of such people as Conan Doyle, Kipling, Joseph Conrad, Chesterton, Oscar Wilde, and other authors who are essentially writers for young people" (SO 46-57).
