Written by classic English author Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories is considered not only a quintessential children’s book, but one of Kipling’s best works. Just So Stories is a collection of origin stories, fictional tales that explain why animals have certain characteristics and other themes akin to that. Kipling’s book features stories such as “How the Whale Got His Throat,” or why large whales eat small prey, and “How the Alphabet Was Made,” which details a young girl and her father inventing an alphabet. Beautifully written and packed-full of illustrations, Just So Stories is the perfect combination of education and fun to get kids to love reading.This edition (ISBN: 9781645940166) is carefully reconstructed from the original edition, which was published in 1902 and was illustrated by Rudyard Kipling, himself.  Even the cover of this edition reflects the first edition of "Just So Stories."  Some very minor updates were required due to modern printing methods, but in the main, this is the closest the reader can get to the original edition just as Kipling wrote it, without having an actual first edition book in one's hand.This attractive hard cover edition is a perfect gift and will be coveted by libraries.  Anyone trying to capture the magic and innocence of childhood will be charmed by this close reproduction of a century's old classic.

When Rudyard Kipling died in 1936, he was considered second to none as a poet. Years before, when Tennyson was Laureate, he had described the young Kipling as the only one with divine fire.” His poetry is as varied as it is beautiful; among eulogies for the dead and celebrations of life are also character assassinations and comic masterpieces. Very often, the most powerful and evocative poems are the most personal and humane; together, they comprise a compelling and deeply moving portrait of the man.

M.M.Kaye, author of "The Far Pavilions", demonstrates in her foreword that Rudyard Kipling could seek no more convinced and sympathetic an advocate than herself. She introduces us to Kipling's India and looks at the influences in his life that were responsible for his becoming the literary lion of the Empire. Kipling was the barrack-room balladeer and the unrivalled poet laureate of the common man. He was born in Bombay in 1865 and after schooling in England, returned to India and started his writing career. He settled in Sussex after the Boer War and concentrated on verse and short stories.

Paragon of English virtues or racist imperialist? Andrew Lycett (acclaimed biographer of Ian Fleming) has returned to primary sources to tell the intricate story of a misunderstood genius who became Britain's most famous and highest earning author. Among the many new sources, Lycett has discovered previously unpublished letters that illuminate Kipling's crucial years in India, his first girlfriend (the model for Mrs Hauksbee of Plain Tales from the Hills), his parents' decision to send him back to England to boarding school; and in his adult life his use of opium, his frustrating times in London and the brief peace he found in America before the devastating loss of both his young daughter and, in the First World War, his son. Lycett also uncovers the extraordinary story of Kipling's great love for Flo Garrard, daughter of the crown jeweller, and unravels the complicated yet enthralling saga of the American family the Balestiers, and of Carrie Balestier who became Kipling's wife. This biography is full of new material on Kipling's financial dealings with Lord Beaverbrook, his friendships with T.E. Lawrence, the painter Edward Burne-Jones and the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin (who was his cousin).

The first fullscale study of Rudyard Kipling in decades provides an incisive reassessment of the life and literary work of an author who had a profound influence on twentiethcentury English literature.

Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English poet, short-story writer, and novelist. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first English Language write to receive the prize and to date he remains the youngest writer. He is known for writing about the Empire. Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote, "....as the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognised as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with." Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." This book contains the following pieces, originally in 8 volumes - over one hundred and fifty pieces of literature - ranging from long stories to short stories to ballads to ditties. VOLUME I Departmental Ditties And Other Verses VOLUME II Ballads And Barrack-Room Ballads VOLUME III The Phantom 'Rickshaw And Other Ghost Stories: My Own True Ghost Story, The Strange Ride Of Morrowbie Jukes, The Man Who Would Be King, "The Finest Story In The World" VOLUME IV Under The Deodars, The Education Of Otis Yeere, At The Pit's Mouth, A Wayside Comedy, The Hill Of Illusion, A Second-Rate Woman, Only A Subaltern, In The Matter Of A Private, The Enlightenments Of Pagett, M.P.
