Just So Stories is a collection of stories by Rudyard Kipling published in various forms between 1902 and 1935. This edition includes two rare Just So Stories,
“The Tabu Tale,” included in only two other early collections, and
“Ham and the Porcupine,” the very last story Kipling ever wrote and not included in any other collection.
The illustrations for these stories include all of Kipling’s original illustrations, with the addition of a few other illustrations from the most famous early editions.
This edition also includes a brief biography of Rudyard Kipling, and
“Story Notes,” both created for this edition. The stories are complete and unedited.
