Just So Stories
Kipling, Rudyard
Synopsis "Just So Stories"
First published in 1902, "Just So Stories" is Rudyard Kipling's classic collection of animal fables and poetry. This collection grew out of nighttime story-telling between Rudyard and his daughter Josephine. The peculiar name is drawn from her insistence that these tales, which were origin stories describing how animals got their most distinctive features, be told "just so". This volume reproduces the complete edition of "Just So Stories" which includes the following stories: "How The Whale Got His Throat", "How The Camel Got His Hump", "How The Rhinoceros Got His Skin", "How The Leopard Got His Spots", "The Elephant's Child", "The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo", "The Beginning of the Armadillos", "How The First Letter Was Written", "How The Alphabet Was Made", "The Crab That Played With The Sea", "The Cat That Walked By Himself", "The Tabu Tale", and "The Butterfly That Stamped". This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes the original illustrations by the author.
Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling escribió novelas, poemas y relatos ambientados principalmente en la India y Birmania durante la época de gobierno británico. Kipling fue un escritor prolífico y popular, y su literatura gira siempre en torno a tres ejes: el patriotismo, el deber de los ingleses de llevar una vida de intensa actividad y el destino de Inglaterra, llamada a ser un gran imperio. Su insistencia en este último aspecto era sin duda un eco del pasado victoriano, y perjudicó gravemente su reputación como escritor, a pesar de que fue el primer autor británico galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura.
