Original text and illustrations--exactly how it should be,
By Maine Moonlight (Maine) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Just So Stories (Hardcover)
I had a hard time finding the original. I read the reviews of various editions closely and learned that many "Just So Stories" are not unabridged as this one is. I highly recommend this edition. The book is large and I cannot see why anyone would want to read anything but pure Kipling. My six year-old is getting a real kick out of this book. We read a few stories per week. Reading something written 100 years ago is good for us!

This review is from: Just So Stories (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful combination of Kipling stories accompanied by his own imaginative engravings, with extensive captions explaining the nuances of his artwork. The captions are as engaging as the stories. While this would be categorized as a children's book, it's great perusing for anyone interested in the photographic art of Kipling's time. He was quite talented as an illustrator.
5.0 out of 5 stars
great fantasized origin-stories book,
This review is from: Just So Stories (Hardcover)
These are fantasizing stories written at the beginning of the XX century. Both my kids love these stories just before bed. Among the origin stories, Kiipling tells us of How the Cat Walked by Himself, How the Alphabet was Made, The Beginning of Armadillos, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, How the Camel Got His Hump, and several others. It's a great reading!
