Book review
An enchanting collection of classic stories
How did the elephant get his long trunk? What happened when the little butterfly stamped in anger? How did the dog, horse and cow become man’s first friends? Who wrote the first letter and invented the alphabet? In this collection of well-loved tales by Rudyard Kipling, a classic writer of the last century, we read of many such wonderful happenings. There are stories here from the Jungle Book, about Mowgli and his friends Baloo and Bagheera, and about Rikki-Tikki Tavi the brave mongoose. Also included are some of Kipling’s stories about children, from Just-So Stories, Plain Tales from the Hills and elsewhere—featuring the irrepressible Tod, the charming Lispeth and creative little Muhammad Din.
For those who have read these stories earlier, this book contains some old favourites as well as some unusual ones; and for those reading Rudyard Kipling’s stories for the first time, this is the perfect introduction to a world that is witty and imaginative, sensitive and rollickingly funny.
