Description

2003 AudioFile EARPHONE AWARD-WINNER!

“I am the cat who walks by himself and all places are alike to me”

Here are the delightful stories which Kipling first told his own children before setting them down on paper. How the Camel got his Hump, How the Leopard got his spots, How the Elephant got his Trunk, the Butterfly that Stamped and many Others. They remain popular, entertaining every generation, partly because of the story and partly because of the vivid way they are written. To hear them – unabridged as they are here – is to enjoy them in their original form.

Music: Saint-Saena, Janacek, Vivaldi and Krommer

Reviews

Daily Express ...

“Rudyard Kipling’s JUST SO STORIES are beautifully told by Geoffrey Palmer, accompanied by the music of Mozart, Vivaldi and other composers on this delightful recording”

The (London) Independent...

“This new production is read by Geoffrey Palmer, allowing Kipling’s bouncily alliterative narratives full rein. An added delight is the appropriate music: Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals for ‘The Elephant's Child,’ a Mozart horn concerto for the whale's horrid experience with the mariner, Janacek for ‘The Cat Who Walked By Himself’.”
