Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: Good. In the grand tradition of anthropomorphic storytelling, Rudyard Kipling?s "Thy Servant A Dog" attempts to turn the tables on the age-old notion of canine loyalty, showcasing the world from the delightful, if slightly muddled, perspective of our four-legged companions. This charming tome, published in…1953 by MacMillan and Co, is not merely a book; it?s a delightful foray into the whimsies and absurdities of dogdom?where every sniff and wag of the tail tells a tale as rich and layered as a Yorkshire pudding. Picture it: a world where dogs are philosophers, contemplating the meaning of life while simultaneously chasing their own tails (quite the philosophical conundrum, wouldn?t you agree?). Kipling, a master of whimsical prose and clever verse, takes us on a journey through the eyes of various dogs, each with their own distinct personality and questionable wisdom. From the ever-loyal retriever who believes himself to be the guardian of virtue, to the cunning terrier who has mastered the art of manipulation?these are not your average pooches. Rather, they are fur-covered sages, dispensing wisdom with every bark and growl. Now, you might be wondering what prompted Kipling, a man who was quite used to human folly, to delve into the canine psyche. Perhaps he had an epiphany during a long stroll in the park, where he observed the canine elite engaging in their rather aristocratic rituals. Or perhaps he simply wished to remind humans that they might not hold the monopoly on intelligence after all. After all, who is to say that a dog, with its superior sense of smell and impeccable ability to fetch, isn?t the more evolved species? As you flip through the pages, expect to encounter a smorgasbord of canine philosophies. Each chapter reveals the trials and tribulations of these four-legged friends, often leading to laugh-out-loud moments and profound musings. Here?s a brief glimpse into what you might find: A debate on the existential crisis faced when the food bowl is half-empty. The unspoken rivalry between cats and dogs?who really runs the household? Reflections on the absurdity of humans talking to them as if they understood every word (spoiler alert: they do!). A treatise on the fine art of begging for scraps at the dinner table. Philosophical discussions on the meaning of loyalty, particularly when the postman arrives. And let us not forget Kipling?s signature blend of delightful whimsy and poignant emotion. Each story is woven with a thread of irony, one that captures not only the essence of canine life but also serves as a mirror reflecting the quirks of human existence. One can?t help but chuckle at the absurdities presented; after all, what could be more amusing than a dog trying to make sense of its owner?s perplexing habits? Condition: This particular copy of "Thy Servant A Dog" is in good condition, though one might find a few pages crinkled from enthusiastic tail wags and the occasional muddy paw print. A testament to its previous life as a cherished companion to a dog-lover?or perhaps a sneaky pooch who couldn?t resist the allure of literature. Regardless, this book remains a valuable addition to any bookshelf, especially for those who appreciate the absurdity of life through the lens of our furry friends. As you ponder whether this book is merely a collection of whimsical tail-wagging tales or a profound commentary on the nature of loyalty, remember that there is always room for a bit of irony in literature, especially when it comes from Crappy Old Books. So grab your reading glasses, settle in with your own faithful companion, and prepare to engage in some thought-provoking?if not slightly ridiculous?musings on what it truly means to be a dog in a human?s world.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: Very Good. Welcome to Just So Stories (1931) by Rudyard Kipling (Macmillan & Co.) ? a book that arrives from the early 20th century with the calm confidence of someone who has never had to compete with cartoons, tablets, or a thousand ?content options.? It simply opens its covers and says: Sit down. Listen…properly. I?m going to tell you exactly how the world got like this. And by ?exactly,? it means in the most gloriously improbable way possible. These are the famous ?how it came to be? tales ? the ones that explain, with straight-faced mischief, why the elephant has a trunk, why the camel has a hump, why the leopard has spots, and why certain creatures should probably not have been left unsupervised near curious questions. Kipling?s voice is warm, witty, slightly conspiratorial, and wonderfully insistent on being read aloud. The stories have that rhythmic, ?once-upon-a-time-but-with-attitude? cadence, the kind that makes you feel as if you?re being gently bossed around by a favourite uncle who knows exactly when to pause for maximum effect. There?s a delightful irony to owning a 1931 edition of a book that was already playing at being ?old-fashioned? even then. You?re holding a time capsule of storytelling: the era of proper sentences, cheeky repetition, and a world where imagination doesn?t need special effects ? it just needs a voice and a willing listener. It?s simultaneously cosy and sharp-edged, full of linguistic flourishes, playful invented words, and that classic Kipling knack for making a children?s story sound like it has an entire universe standing just off-stage. This particular copy is Very Good , which is exactly what you want for something approaching a century old: well-kept, respectable, and still perfectly ready to be read, re-read, and dramatically performed. And the best part: the soft leather back binding . That little touch gives it a faint ?library treasure? feel ? like it belongs on a shelf next to other books that have survived multiple generations of bedtime readings and still look quietly proud of it. Perfect for: collectors of vintage children?s classics, anyone who likes their fairy tales with humour and bite, people who enjoy reading aloud (or being read to), and anyone who wants a book that feels like an heirloom without demanding white gloves. Sold by Crappy Old Books , naturally ? because where else would a 1931 Macmillan Kipling with a soft leather spine end up, if not waiting patiently for the next reader to open it ?just for a look? and then fall straight back into the timeless business of stories told just so .
