(4.8 estrellas; 45 reseñas)

The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. The original editions of Just So Stories were illustrated with woodcuts by Kipling himself. Each story is accompanied by a poem, in a somewhat ballad style. Many of the stories are addressed to “Best Beloved” (they were first written for Kipling’s eldest daughter, Josephine, who had died during an outbreak of influenza in 1899), and throughout they use a comically elevated style inspired by the formal speech of India, full of long and improbable-sounding words, some of them made up. As a result, it is a delight to read them aloud, and easy to memorize passages from them. they have been recorded several times before but I wanted to enjoy rolling those wonderful words around myself. What fun! (Summary from Wikipedia) (3 hr 30 min)

For those who can find delight in well told (and well read) fables for children, the "Just So Stories" are hard to beat.

Beautifully narrated stories - a real delight

Incorrect author


(5 estrellas)

These stories could have been great. As it is they are lacking diversity, equality, and inclusion. I have therefore concluded that Donald Trump was the actual author of these stories, that do not have homonormativity or include depictions of old white males systemically oppressing BIPOCs. If the author, Donald Trump, had just reversed the genders of all the protagonist and made them a member of an oppressed class, these stories would have been gr8. They also no longer would have been written by Trump. It is important to know that the whale in this story is in fact a gay whale who is a hard working LatinX undocumented guest worker

A very good book 👍
