And how was the alphabet made? Rudyard Kipling's classic collection of fables answers the great questions of animal- and humankind in a fun, eloquent and magical way - for children and adults alike.

Kipling's enjoyment in playing with language, as well as his own delight in fatherhood, makes these stories a joy to read aloud, and children will request these tales as bedtime stories again and again. However, adults will also revel in Kipling's fanciful storytelling and gift for language, as every reading uncovers a new joke, subtext or fascinating embellishment. From the author of 'The Jungle Book' and 'Kim', 'Just So Stories' is the...

Rudyard Kipling

Amistad
No hay placer comparable al de encontrar un viejo amigo excepto el de lograr uno nuevo.
Personalidad
Pudo haber sido esto, pudo haber sido aquello, pero se le ama y se le odia por lo que es.
Saber
Seis honrados servidores
me enseñaron cuanto sé;
sus nombres son cómo, cuándo,
dónde, qué, quién y por qué.
Solidaridad
Cuando la tripulación y el capitán están cordialmente compenetrados, es preciso un temporal y más que un temporal para lanzar la nave a tierra.
