远古传奇：汉英对照just so stories: A Chinese English Translation [Chinese]

By 吉卜林

Book Overview

"Kipling's ""The Legend of the Ancients"" is one of the most famous collections of children's stories written by Kipling, the first British author to win the Nobel Prize. Among all Kipling's works, his favorite is this book 'The Legend of the Ancients'. Every story can be considered a representative work of Kipling. His love for animals seems to be innate, and he draws great inspiration from it. The stories collected in this book, such as ""The Elephant's Child,"" ""How the Spots on the Leopard Grew,"" ""The Solitary Cat,"" and other fables, were originally told by Kipling to his child's nurse. The former spoke with great interest, while the latter listened intently. These stories are based on themes and described environments, ranging from animals to the origin of letters, from prehistoric caves to tropical jungles in Africa. The writing is humorous and vivid, accompanied by poetry and rhymes, as well as mysterious illustrations, reflecting the author's superb creativity. Opening the book, it felt as if Kipling was everywhere. He might be in a corner of the book or in an illustration, slyly blinking his eyes and creating one magical after another
