This book was originally published in 1932. It contains a collection of animal stories by Rudyard Kipling along with many black and white illustrations by Stuart Tresilian. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
