How did the camel get his hump? Why won’t cats do as they are told? How did an inquisitive little elephant change the lives of elephants everywhere? Kipling’s imagined answers to such questions draw on the beast fables of India, and they are full of jokes, subtexts, and exotic references. This fully illustrated edition of this classic includes two extra stories and Kipling’s own explanation of the title.
