'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
