The first of the British writers, the Nobel Prize winner in literature, Rudyard Kipling, is an extraordinary phenomenon, and his works are always an event. His small masterpieces about the creation of the world and about the first animals on earth became such an event. Kipling designed them for his daughter, who died at the age of six. Shocked by a terrible loss, he completed writing them and created a real treasure trove of fairy tales. Rich in poetic images, they fascinate even a century later. Before you is a luxurious edition, which is also notable for the fact that it includes the full texts of all fairy tales, including the rarely published "The Story of Tegumai Taboos."
