Riassunto

I disegni di Kipling, con le loro lunghe e divertenti didascalie, illustrano le sue esilaranti spiegazioni di Come il cammello ha ottenuto la sua gobba, Come il rinoceronte ha ottenuto la sua pelle, Come è successo all'armadillo e altri "come" degli animali. Iniziò a inventare queste storie nella città natale della moglie americana, Brattleboro, nel Vermont, per divertire la figlia maggiore, e da allora sono state fonte di risate per i bambini di tutto il mondo.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in India in 1865 to British parents, and brought up by a Portuguese ‘ayah’ (nanny) and an Indian servant, who would entertain him with fabulous stories and Indian nursery rhymes. He was sent back to England when he was seven years old, and lived in a boarding house with a couple who were cruelly strict. Fortunately he returned to India aged sixteen, to work as the assistant editor of a newspaper in Lahore. He began publishing stories and poems and eventually had great success with his book Plain Tales from the Hills. After his marriage Kipling settled in America, and it was here that he wrote The Jungle Book. He then moved with his family to England, where he wrote Just So Stories for his daughter Josephine who later tragically died of pneumonia. Rudyard Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 and died on 18 January 1936.
