Its tales are not natural history, but literary invention: fanciful explanations for the elephant's trunk, the camel's hump, the leopard's spots, and other features of the animal world. Project Gutenberg describes the book as playful origin stories that blend whimsy with philosophy, and notes that Kipling illustrated the original stories himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of classic children's literature, animal stories, literary fairy tales, fables, and Rudyard Kipling, \u003cem\u003eJust So Stories -Illustrated\u003c\/em\u003e remains essential: inventive, highly individual, and still unlike almost anything else in children's fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426596192323,"sku":"9781515428312","price":34.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/just-so-stories-illustrated-classic-illustrated-animal-origin-stories-for-children-hardcover","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
