Despite Kipling's popularity as an author and his standing as a
politically controversial figure, much of his work has remained
relatively unexamined due to its characterization as 'children's
literature'. Sue Walsh challenges the apparently clear division
between 'children's' and 'adult' literature, and poses important
questions about how these strict categories have influenced
critical work on Kipling and on literature in general. For example,
why are some of Kipling's books viewed as children's literature,
and what critical assumptions does this label produce? Why is it
that Kim is viewed by critics as transcending attempts at
categorization? Using Kipling as a case study, Walsh discusses
texts such as Kim, The Jungle Books, the Just-So Stories, Puck of
Pook's Hill, and Rewards and Fairies, re-evaluating earlier
critical approaches and offering fresh readings of these relatively
neglected works. In the process, she suggests new directions for
postcolonial and childhood studies and interrogates the way
biographical criticism on children's literature in particular has
tended to supersede and obstruct other kinds of readings.
