JUST SO STORIES

Kipling´s bewitching stories conjure up distant lands, the beautiful gardens of splendid palaces, the sea, the desert, and the jungle and its beasts.

Inspired by Kipling´s natural empathy with the animal world and by his obvious delight in human foibles and eccentricities, these strikingly imaginative fables explore a range of subjects from the animals themselves to the origins of things. The stories are linked by poems and scattered with Kipling´s illustrations, which, intriguingly, contain hidden jokes and puzzles. Just So Stories was written for children but the book transcends the boundaries of age and is of equal appeal to adults.
