A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PHILIP PULLMAN

'They sing in my head even now... What a wonderful storyteller/poet he was' Michael Morpurgo, Guardian

Have you ever wondered how the leopard got his spots? Or how the camel got his hump? Rudyard Kipling's witty and beautifully written stories explain these secrets and many more and introduce such memorable characters as the Elephant's Child, the Cat that Walked by Himself and the Butterfly that Stamped.

'Quite irresistible' The Times

Biographie de l'auteur :

Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay (now known as Mumbai), India, but returned with his parents to England at the age of five. Among Kipling’s best-known works are The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, and the poems “Mandalay” and “Gunga Din.” Kipling was the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize for literature (1907) and was among the youngest to have received the award.
