Kipling for young readers

(and the young in heart)


JUST SO STORIES

These were the stories he told his children when they were small. Each time he told them, they had to be exactly the same as last time – Just So!


There is much more to Mowgli than you see in the movies, and many more characters in the Jungle Books.


Puck steps out of the hill in deepest Sussex, and introduces the children to an exciting cast of people from England’s past.


REWARDS AND FAIRIES

The next year they meet Queen Bess, Saint Wilfrid, 7th Century Bishop of York, and Nicholas Culpepper – herbalist, doctor and astrologer…


STALKY & CO.

Kipling greatly relished his schooldays, his alliance with his study-mates, “Stalky” and “Turkey” and their adventures.


LAND AND SEA TALES

Ten stories of courage, skill, wit and endeavour, which Kipling hoped would be of interest to teenagers and perhaps inspire them.

 

Kipling for Schools 2014 – 2019

(new Just So stories)

By the way because his initials were RK Kipling liked
to draw little pictures of Noah’s Ark in his stories
as a secret signature.
