Just So Stories (Deluxe Library Edition)

Origin stories take center stage in this collection, exploring how various animals acquired their unique traits, such as the leopard's spots. Composed initially as bedtime tales for his daughter Josephine, the narratives emphasize the importance of storytelling precision, as she demanded the tales be told "just so." With a whimsical tone, Kipling crafts imaginative explanations that delight both children and adults, making each story a charming exploration of nature's curiosities.
