Summary
This is a story from the Just So Stories collection.
Here is the complete and unabridged collection of Rudyard Kipling's delightful Just So Stories, which he first told to his own children before setting them down on paper: How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Leopard Got His Spots, How the Elephant Got His Trunk, The Butterfly that Stamped, and many others. Written in the late 1800s and first published in 1902, these enchanting animals remain unforgettable, over 100 years later. To hear these magic fables by a master of children's literature is to enjoy them.
Editor reviews
Why does the leopard have those spots? Why the camel his hump? Why is the cat always aloof? Rudyard Kipling's collection of fanciful origin tales,Just So Stories, answers these questions and more. British actor Geoffrey Palmer, known for his hangdog look, has acted in movies like The Madness of King George and Tomorrow Never Dies. His gruff tone brings energy to these stories that would have made Kipling himself smile. Sweetly, Palmer addresses his audience, a child, as "best beloved." In this production, the talents of two big personalities blend together to enthrall youngsters.
