Great Regulars: [Rudyard] Kipling became the first English

writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. He was the youngest recipient of the award, and still retains that distinction today. After receiving the prestigious award, Kipling continued to write poetry and stories, although less prolifically; the collection "Rewards and Fairies" (1910) included Kipling's best-known poem "If."
