Beschreibung
Written by classic English author Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories is considered not only a quintessential children's book, but one of Kipling's best works. Just So Stories is a collection of origin stories, fictional tales that explain why animals have certain characteristics and other themes akin to that. Kipling's book features stories such as "How the Whale Got His Throat," or why large whales eat small prey, and "How the Alphabet Was Made," which details a young girl and her father inventing an alphabet. Beautifully written and packed-full of illustrations, Just So Stories is the perfect combination of education and fun to get kids to love reading.

This edition is carefully reconstructed from the original edition. Even the cover of this edition reflects the first edition of "Just So Stories." Some very minor updates were required due to modern printing methods, but in the main, this is the closest the reader can get to the original edition just as Kipling wrote it, without having an actual first edition book in one's hand.

This attractive edition is a perfect gift and will be coveted by libraries. Anyone trying to capture the magic and innocence of childhood will be charmed by this close reproduction of a century's old classic.

Über den Autor
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English novelist, short story author, poet, and journalist. He was born in British India, which influenced much of his work. Kipling's writing includes the Jungle Book duology (The Jungle Book, 1894; The Second Jungle Book, 1895), Kim (1901), the Just So Stories (1902), and other short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poetry includes "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of Copybook Headings" (1919), and "The White Man's Burden" (1899). He is regarded as a pioneer in the art of the short tale. His children's books are classics; one writer praised him for having "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom. A quote from Henry James: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known."In 1907, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first English-language writer and, at 41, the youngest recipient to date. He was also considered for the position of British Poet Laureate and many knighthoods, but declined both. After his death in 1936, his ashes were deposited in Poets' Corner, which is part of Westminster Abbey's South Transept.
