| Kipling's Just So Stories, written in the late 1800s and meant to be read aloud, reveal the author's love of language as an almost musical medium, his deep affection for India, and his refusal to patronize or simplify for the sake of a young audience. This delightful recording presents Kipling's complete collection of enchanting animal tales. |
|
From the Publisher:
A collection of classic animal tales provides creative and imaginative answers to unanswered questions, such as how the leopard got his spots and where the camel got its hump. |
Author Bio
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling was the creator of short stories, poetry, and novels. In 1907 he became the first English writer to win the Nobel Prize, although much of his writing for adults has since been labeled imperialist, fascist, and racist. Kipling was born to English parents and lived in India until he was 6 years old. At that time, he was sent to England, where he lived with a foster family, although he made frequent trips back to India. He married an American woman with whom he moved to the United States, where he wrote some of his best-known works for children including "The Jungle Book" and "Kim". He eventually returned to England where he wrote "Just So Stories". He wrote his last book for children, "Rewards and Fairies", in 1910--many believe that the death of his daughter, Josephine, may have been a factor in this decision. He won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1907.
