How did the camel get his hump? Why won't cats do as they are told"? Who invented reading and writing? How did an inquisitive little elephant change the lives of elephants everywhere. Kipling's imagined answers to such questions draw on the beast fables he heard as a child in India, as well as on folk traditions he later collected all over the world. He plays games with language, exploring the relationships between thought, speech, and written word. He also celebrates his own joy in fatherhood. The tales were told to his own and his friends' children over many years before he wrote them down, adding poems and his own illustrations. They invite older and younger readers to share a magical experience, each contributing to the other's pleasure but each can also enjoy them alone, as more jokes, subtexts, and exotic references emerge with every reading. This fully illustrated edition icludes two extra stories and Kipling's own explanation of the title.

These 'Edventures' were written by seven-year-old Edward ('Eddie') John Gregg in creative writing at junior school. Edward loved books and had a very vivid imagination, as you will see. The stories range from the simple observation of two fox cubs in a field, 'with fur like a ginger biscuit', to space travel and escaping from 'the Valley of Doom'. The illustrations are by Edward's Uncle John (Gregg) from his home in Picton, Prince Edward County, Canada. These add life to the amazing 'Edventures'. Very sadly, after a short illness, Edward lost his battle with leukaemia. He was 24. All proceeds from the book will go to the charity Blood Cancer UK.
