Captains Courageous

An illustrated version of one of Kipling's famous poems about a father's advice to his son.

A Father's Advice to His Son

They sing in my head even now... What a wonderful storyteller-poet Kipling was." --Michael Morpurgo, Guardian 'Hear and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was.' Have you ever enquired why the elephant has such an enormously elongated nose? Are you confused by a cat's contrariness? Have you ruminated on the wrinkles of a rhinocerous? Or speculated how the leopard got its spots? Rudyard Kipling wondered about all these things too, and in this marvellous collection of stories he imagines how the animals became 'just so'.

Just So Stories

"Kipling has seen a perfect Odyssey of strange experiences."-Andrew Lang.

Rudyard Kipling's Tales of Horror and Fantasy

A vivid, beguiling coming of age story chronicling the quest of an adolescent boy and an old ascetic priest, Kim is Kipling's masterpiece. Kim was born and raised in India and plays with the slum children on the streets, but he is white, a sahib, and wants to play the Great Game of Imperialism, while his companion, a priest, seeks redemption from the Wheel of Life. Kim celebrates their friendship and their journeys in a beautiful, exotic but often hostile environment.

The Second Jungle Book is a sequel to The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. First published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated stories, all but one set in India, most of which Kipling wrote while living in Vermont. All of the stories were previously published in magazines in 1894-5, often under different titles. The original book is now worth $3.4 million. The 1994 film The Jungle Book used this book as a source. Each story is followed by a related poem.

"While performing a scene from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Una and Dan accidentally summon Puck who enables them to witness tales of English history."--From source other than the Library of Congress

Puck of Pook's Hill

"Or ever the knightly years were gone With the old world to the grave, I was a king in Babylon And you were a Christian slave," -W.E. Henley. His name was Charlie Mears; he was the only son of his mother who was a widow, and he lived in the north of London, coming into the City every day to work in a bank. He was twenty years old and suffered from aspirations. I met him in a public billiard-saloon where the marker called him by his given name, and he called the marker "Bullseyes." Charlie explained, a little nervously, that he had only come to the place to look on, and since looking on at games of skill is not a cheap amusement for the young, I suggested that Charlie should go back to his mother. That was our first step toward better acquaintance. He would call on me sometimes in the evenings instead of running about London with his fellow-clerks; and before long, speaking of himself as a young man must, he told me of his aspirations, which were all literary. He desired to make himself an undying name chiefly through verse, though he was not above sending stories of love and death to the drop-a-penny-in-the-slot journals.

Mowgli, assim lhe chama a Mãe Loba, tornar-se-ia um dos seus lobitos e em breve aprenderia a conhecer todos os sussurros da erva, todo o sopro tépido da noite, todo o pio de mocho ou som de peixe no charco. O sábio urso Baloo e a pantera negra Bagheera, a poderosa jiboia Kaa e o ameaçador tigre Shere Khan são alguns dos fascinantes habitantes do mundo de perigos e deslumbramento, de excitação e de medos, de coragem e de amizade onde Mowgli irá crescer. Publicadas originalmente em revistas, estas inesquecíveis aventuras foram compiladas pela primeira vez em livro em 1894, numa edição que contou com ilustrações originais concebidas pelo pai do autor e que recuperamos nesta nova edição.
