The Cat That Walked by Himself by Rudyard Kipling

A beautiful little hardback published by the British library, suitable for adults and for children both to be read to and to read, from about the age of 7 onwards.

Contains four of Kipling's Just So stories: 'The Cat that Walked by Himself', 'The Elephant's Child', 'How the Camel got his Hump' and 'How the Rhinoceros got his Skin'.  Each is accompanied by Kipling's original black and white illustrations with his self deprecting commentary, pictures which perfectly partner Kipling's lyrical mythical text.
