    About this audiobook

    The "Just So Stories for Little Children" is among Kipling's best known and loved work. The stories focus on different animals, and how they got their distinctive features. You will for example discover why the elephant's trunk is so very long, and how the leopard got its spots. Written originally for his own daughter, the author's pleasure in playing with the sounds and meanings of words is very evident, and adds to the adults' enjoyment of these children stories. This playfulness is also dramatically present in the plotting. For both reasons, these stories have been loved by generations of children and adults alike, and they are best enjoyed when read aloud. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an India-born British author, journalist, poet, and novelist. His most famous work is “The Jungle Book” (1894), which has inspired two Disney adaptations: the 1967 animated feature and the 2016 live-action film starring Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, and Lupita Nyong’o. In 1941, he became the first English-language writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

    Rudyard Kipling

    Rudyard Kipling, né en 1865 à Bombay, est l'un des auteurs les plus célèbres de la littérature anglaise. Il a passé une grande partie de son enfance en Inde, une expérience qui a profondément influencé son oeuvre. Kipling est surtout connu pour ses récits sur l'Inde coloniale, dont "Le Livre de la jungle" et "Le Second Livre de la jungle", qui ont captivé des générations de lecteurs avec leurs personnages mémorables et leurs paysages exotiques. Lauréat du prix Nobel de littérature en 1907, Kipling est reconnu pour son style narratif unique et sa capacité à tisser des histoires intemporelles. Outre ses oeuvres de fiction, il a également écrit des poèmes et des nouvelles qui reflètent sa vision du monde et ses préoccupations sociales. Kipling est décédé en 1936, laissant derrière lui un héritage littéraire qui continue d'inspirer et de fasciner.
