\"\"Just So Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Author: Rudyard Kipling<\/p>\n

ISBN: 9780141321622<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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 games with language, exploring the relationships between thought, speech, and the 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.<\/p>\n

Published in 1902, these charming and whimsical fantasies for children\u2014and adults who retain a love of the fantastic\u2014are enduring classics.\u00a0 Focusing on the explanation of origin, the book includes How the Leopard Got His Spots<\/em>,\u00a0How the Camel Got His Hump<\/em>\u00a0and The Cat That Walked by Himself<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\nPuck of Pook\u2019s Hill<\/em>\u00a0relates how Dan and Una\u2019s magical meeting with Puck, the last of the People of the Hills, leads to their adventures with Romans and Crusaders, Saxons and Vikings\u2026
