Kipling's first name (7)
I believe the answer is:
rudyard
'kipling's first name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rudyard that I've seen before include "The Jungle Book author, d, 1936" , "Indian-born English writer" , "Kipling's first name" , "See 4 down" , "-- Kipling, author" .)
