Building on the oral traditions of storytelling in India and Africa, Nobel Prize winner Rudyard Kipling's energetic, funny stories offer creative answers to unanswered questions about animals and give little pearls of wisdom. Full of playful intelligent animals and humans, these classic tales have entertained both young and old for more than a hundred years.
