Thanks Tom, I hadn't encountered that one before.

Makes me think maybe I should revisit Kipling- I had kind of missed
him as a kid, and figured it wasn't much use going back to revisit the
same fella who wrote the Jungle Book at this point.

Oh, you really want to. While Kipling wrote some books for kids most
of his writing was not aimed at that audience, and even his books for
kids aren't "kid stuff".
