'In the high and remote times...' commences Rudyard Kipling's 'How the Elephant Got His Trunk', and off we could considered by one of the very most supreme storytellers into a world where children's questions are turned neatly on their heads and questions are given which, far from stopping the blast of enquiries, only serve to make it gush faster. These astonishingly funny and incredibly clever tales were first conceived for Kipling's eldest daughter, Josephine, who passed away in the influenza outbreak of 1899 and follow directly from the tale told to Mowgli in the second Jungle E book (1895) of 'How the Tiger Got His Stripes'. They have grown to be some of the most popular children's works. Even though Kipling's other writing was going through a vicious backlash against a fairly obvious devotion for the United kingdom Colonial system, 'The Just So Stories' remained tightly untouched by the swingeing criticism. And quite rightly, they are really glorious. Children love the innovatively mistaken narrator and Kipling's lightly wicked undermining of the words of authority, a line which leads right to the children's books of such modern authors as Roald Dahl. Parents love the provoking of enquiry, which Kipling thought to be the best tool with which a child should be prepared. The rest of us just love the wonder of the writing and the actual fact that these reports stay extremely funny.
