Publisher's Summary

The complete collection of Rudyard Kipling's classic fables, read by Johnny Morris.

Have you ever wondered how and why the animals came to be as they are? In these magical tales, drawn from stories he heard as a child in India as well as on folk traditions he later collected all over the world, Rudyard Kipling gives some wonderfully imaginative explanations.

This selection includes 'The Beginning of the Armadillos', 'The Cat that Walked by Himself', and 'The Butterfly that Stamped'. Originally told by Rudyard Kipling for his own children, these witty, fanciful tales have been loved by generations of children ever since.

Warning! Super Racist.

I had to turn this off and have a discussion on race with my children after the story "How the Leopard Got His Spots." One of the characters was called "The Ethiopian." He was originally tan, but painted his skin black to blend in with the environment. It is pretty sickening that there is no warning about the content of this audio book. Except as a historical document, it doesn't belong in the 21st century.
