 Just So Stories The Just So Stories for Little Children are among Kipling's best known and loved works. This recording aims to be the first complete audio book of this title with nothing left out.by Rudyard Kipling The Nobel prize-winning author's enjoyment in playing with the sounds and meanings of words is very evident throughout, and adds to adults' enjoyment of these stories for children. This playfulness is also dramatically present in the plotting. For both reasons these stories been loved by generations of children and adults alike. Because the writing plays with sound and meaning the Just So Stories are best enjoyed when read aloud. As we all are, Kipling was a child of his time and social setting, so for example in "How the Leopard Got his Spots" he uses what one recent reviewer called "the N word" to refer to the Ethiopian. Each listener will need to examine critically both Kipling's attitudes and their own. As well as the twelve stories most often published under this title (from the first British edition) it also includes "The Tabu Tale" a thirteenth story (included in the first US edition). The last story Kipling wrote "Ham and the Porcupine" is also a just so story, but has not usually been collected with the others, and perhaps lacks their verve and wordplay. The Kipling Society publishes an excellent freely available online edition with a good set of notes on the text. 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 who Walked by Himself 12 The Tabu Tale 13 The Butterfly that Stamped Read byRead by Tim Bulkeley Approx Run time: 4 Hours JUST SO EXCERPT.mp3
