Just So Stories

Rudyard Kipling

Find out why the rhino is so wrinkly and the cat so contrary. Kipling’s weird and wacky stories are a must-read for everyone intrigued by the oddities of animals

‘Hear and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was’

Have you ever enquired why the elephant has such an enormously elongated nose? Are you confused by a cat’s contrary nature? Have you ruminated on the wrinkles of a rhinocerous? Or speculated on a leopard’s spots? Rudyard Kipling wondered about all these things too, and in this marvellous collection of stories he imagines how the animals became ‘just so’.
