Caracteristici

New edition of one of the greatest children's classics of English literature

Notă biografică

Rudyard Kipling(1865–1936) was born in Bombay. During his time at the United Services College, he began to write poetry, privately publishingSchoolboy Lyricsin 1881. The following year he started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches, and poems —including “Mandalay,” “Gunga Din,” and “Danny Deever”—which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. While living in Vermont with his wife, an American, Kipling wroteThe Jungle Books,Just So Stories, andKim—which became widely regarded as his greatest long work, putting him high among the chronicles of British expansion. Kipling returned to England in 1902, but he continued to travel widely and write, though he never enjoyed the literary esteem of his early years. In 1907, he became the first British writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize.

Jan Montefiore(editor) is a professor of twentieth-century English literature at the University of Kent. She is the author ofMen and Women Writers of the 1930s(1996);Arguments of Heart and Mind: Selected Essays 1977-2000(2002);Feminism and Poetry(3rd edition, 2004); andRudyard Kipling(2007).

Judith Plotz(introducer) teaches at George Washington University. Her most recent book is Romanticism and the Vocation of Childhood (2001).

Recenzii

Kipling has an Aesopian understanding of animals, of our dealings with them and our curious interrelatedness, interdependence, how we can learn about our own strange behaviour.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

How did the camel get his hump? Why won't cats do as they are told? Who invented reading and writing? How did an inquisitive little elephant change the lives of elephants everywhere? Kipling's imagined answers to such questions draw on the beast fables he heard as a child in India, as well as on folk games with language, exploring the relationships between thought, speech, and the written word. He also celebrates his own joy in fatherhood. The tales were told to his own and his friends' children over many years before he wrote them down, adding poems and his own illustrations. They invite older and younger readers to share a magical experience, each contributing to the other's pleasure, but each can also enjoy them alone, as more jokes, subtexts, and exotic references emerge with every reading. This fully illustrated edition includes two extra stories and Kipling's own explanation of the title.
