Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. He is most famous for ''The Jungle Book (1894)'', If (1895) and Kim (1901). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: ''Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known.''

The Montblanc Writers Edition takes its main inspiration from Kipling's "The Jungle Book". The overall shape is inspired by the Ankus of ''the King's Ankus'' story from the second jungle book. The champagne tone gold coated skeleton overlay on the cap (monkey) is inspired by the story ''Koa's hunting'' from The Jungle Book, which is a short story featuring Mowgli and the monkeys. The pattern on the barrel depicts tecture of a tiger, which refers to Shere Kahn. The ''jungle'' green colour is inspired by the cover of the book's first U.S. edition, with the clip taking inspiration from the wolf pack. The engraving of cold lairs (an abondoned human city from the Jungle Book) on the cap is inspired by the city Chittogarph which Kipling visited. The cap top is finished with the Montblanc emblem in mother of pearl and the edition is limited to 1895 pieces worldwide as a reference to the year 1895 when the poem ''If'' was written as a tribute to Leander Starr Jameson. The 18kt gold nib is engraved with an elephant as a reminder of the cover of the Jungle Book.

A well-worn set of H6's westbound St.G's during rush hour.

Easily identifiable as the subway cars with the orange doorways, enough of the new Toronto Rocket trainsets have been ordered to replace the entire H-series fleet in the coming years. This includes the 1980's-built H6 cars which are approaching 30 years of age, having spent their entire lives providing service on the Bloor-Danforth line.
