Description
Hear, O Best Beloved… In these classic stories Rudyard Kipling tells us the origins of many of the beasts of the sea, the jungle, the desert and even of exquisite palaces of the East. We are told how the elephant got his trunk, how the leopard got his spots and how the humble butterfly caused an uproar by stamping his foot. Written for children, these stories are so rich in humour, inventiveness and imagination that they have a timeless appeal to all ages.
