Just So Stories

By Rudyard Kimpling

 

The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. Each story is accompanied by a poem, in a somewhat ballad style. Many of the stories are addressed to “Best Beloved” (they were first written for Kipling’s eldest daughter), and throughout they use a comically elevated style inspired by the formal speech of India, full of long and improbable-sounding words, some of them made up. As a result, it is a delight to read them aloud, and easy to memorise passages from them...

The list of stories is as follows:

01 How the Whale Got His Throat

02 How The Camel Got His Hump

03 How The Rhinoceros Got His Skin

04 How the Leopard Got His Spots

05 The Elephant’s Child

06 The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo

07 The Beginning of the Armadillos

08 How the First Letter was Written

09 How The Alphabet Was Made

10 The Crab that Played with the Sea

11 The Cat that Walked by Himself

12 The Butterfly that Stamped
