About this ebook
These witty stories were originally told by Rudyard Kipling to his own children. In them he gives fanciful accounts of how and why things came to be as they are. Generations of children have delighted to learn how the Leopard got his spots, how the Elephant's Child on the banks of the great grey-green Limpopo acquired his trunk with the help of the Crocodile, and the beginning of the Armadillos.

About the author
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India, in 1865. Kipling was one of the most revered writers in recent history, and many of his works are deemed classic literature. To this day, he maintains an avid following and reputation as one of the greatest storytellers of the past two centuries. He published hundreds of short stories, novels, and poetry collections, including the short story “The Man Who Would Be King” and the famed poem “If.” In 1907, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. He died in 1936, but his stories live on—even nearly one hundred years after his passing.
J. M. Gleeson and Paul Bransom were both illustrators during the early 1900s.
