Kipling Characters: These are mostly lower-class or bumbling types. Many of Kipling's underclass characters are of strong moral fiber, but not all. Kipling is famous for his satire of "high society" and I recommend all of his works. Get a collection of short stories from the library, you won't be sorry.

Gunga Din - slave 'Gunga Din'
