Rudyard Kipling - Just So Stories (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780141905136
Synopsis
Just So Stories for Little Children is a 1902 collection of original stories by the British author Rudyard Kipling.
Kipling first invented these delightful, warm and humorous stories about the beginning of the world and the first animals in it for his own daughter, Josephine, who tragically died when she was six. Devastated by her loss, Kipling compiled the stories they had shared together into a treasury, which was first published in 1902. Conjuring up distant lands and exotic jungles, the imaginative tales are bewitching for both children and adults.
Considered a classic of children's literature, the book is among Kipling's best known works.

The Author
Rudyard Kipling is one of the best-known of the late Victorian poets and story-tellers. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book, Kim, and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King". Although he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907, his political views, which grew more toxic as he aged, have long made him critically unpopular.
