HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. How did the leopard get its spots?
Why do the tides ebb and flow? How did the elephant get its trunk?
And how was the alphabet made? Rudyard Kipling's classic collection
of fables answers the great questions of animal- and humankind in a
fun, eloquent and magical way - for children and adults alike.
Kipling's beautifully imaginative answers echo the animal fables he
heard during his childhood in India, paired with the folk tales he
collected throughout his life. Kipling's enjoyment in playing with
language, as well as his own delight in fatherhood, makes these
stories a joy to read aloud, and children will request these tales
as bedtime stories again and again. However, adults will also revel
in Kipling's fanciful storytelling and gift for language, as every
reading uncovers a new joke, subtext or fascinating embellishment.
From the author of 'The Jungle Book' and 'Kim', 'Just So Stories'
is the newest addition to the available canon of Kipling's work
available in the handy format of Collins Classics!
