How did the rude Rhinoceros get his baggy skin? How did a
'satiably curious Elephant change the lives of his kin
evermore? First told aloud to his young daughter ("O my Best
Beloved"), Rudyard Kipling's inspired answers to these and
other burning questions draw from the fables he heard as a
child in India and the folktales he gathered from around the
world. Now, in this sumptuous volume, Kipling's playful,
inventive tales are brought to life by eight of today's
celebrated illustrators, from Peter Sís's elegantly graphic
cetacean in "How the Whale Got His Throat" to Satoshi
Kitamura's amusingly expressive characters in "The Cat That
Walked by Himself." From one of the world's greatest
storytellers come eight classic tales just begging to be
heard by a new generation — and a visual feast that offers a
reward with every retelling.
