The Just So Stories  Rudyard Kipling loved children, playing with them, chatting with them, story-telling. Here he is telling a story on board a ship going to South Africa. He had had some very sad years when he was small, and was determined that his own children, Josephine, John, and Elsie, would have a happy time. These are some of the stories he made up for them. They are called 'Just So' because he told them again and again, and the children always wanted them to be just the same. He drew the pictures for the book himself.

Since 2015 we have run a competition for Primary School children
to write their own Just So stories. We have not continued it
this year because of the disruption caused by the Covid19 emergency,
but you can click here
to see how the competition worked out, and read some of the brilliant prize-winning tales.
