Something of Myself: for my friends known and unknown is the autobiography of Rudyard Kipling. Kipling wrote it in the last year of his life; the unfinished text was prepared for publication by his wife. Kipling began work on the autobiography on 1 August 1935, and was last reported to work on it (doing revisions) on 26 December of the same year. He died on 18 January 1936. The unfinished manuscript was edited and prepared for publication by his wife, Caroline Starr Balestier. Kipling had stated the intention to deal in this account with 'his life from the point of view of his work'. He thus focuses on describing the inspiration, genesis and workmanship of his literary creations while remaining reticent on most facets of his private life that are not directly connected to his works.
