The famous, funny and inspiring stories from one of the world's greatest storytellers. From the 'satiable curiosity of the elephant's child to the crab who played with the sea, from the ingenious invention of the alphabet to how the rhinoceros got his wrinkled skin, these stories of strange happenings in the High and Far-Off Times brim with life, humour and magic - a wonderful collection that will hold you spellbound!
How disappointing to find that the Free Sample did not include even a page or two of any of the stories in this book, so potential purchasers cannot assess how they will appear in the full version.
A pity really. But I'll give it a miss on that basis, and at that price, and cannot therefore rate it. One Star for the Sample then.

Just so stories
I had the hard back of this as a child and totally recommend it....the tales are magical,fascinating, adventurous and captivating even to a child of the 2000's! Rikki tikki tavi is probably my favourite!
I'm purchasing this to read to my little boy and suggest you do too!
