‘He asked his tall aunt, the Ostrich, why her tail feathers grew just so, and his tall aunt, the Ostrich, spanked him with her hard, hard claw.’ Stubborn camels, itchy rhinos, curious elephants and misbehaving crabs inhabit the enchanting tales of Just So Stories—revealing a world that began with the simplest of things. Imaginative and intriguing, Kipling’s famous fables are accompanied by his own poems and illustrations, and are narrated with great wit—appealing to both children and adults alike. Including classic stories such as ‘How the Camel got his Hump’, ‘How the Leopard got his Spots’ and ‘How the Alphabet was Made’, this collector’s edition includes an introduction by Ruskin Bond and specially commissioned illustrations
