A fun book to read to kids; creative tales about the origin of animals. ( ![]() I had never read any Kipling so thought I would start with this children's book and well, it wasn't what I expected. I get that these were written in 1902 and like other famous authors contain racist passages, I just don't like it so blatant in my children's literature. Plus I didn't think these stories were as clever or stood the test of time the way other great children's literature like A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh has. (Yes, I know that was published in 1926 which is a bit later.) So, look at Beatrix Potter's books - those are much more clever as well and have easily stood the test of time and Peter Rabbit was first published in 1901. If you're reading these for yourself and their historical value, sure go ahead. If you're looking for something to read to your child - honestly there are so many better choices out there. Setting aside the problematic aspects of Kipling's tainted world views, this is in itself a light and enjoyable read of a fictional mythos of the world. The obvious historical rascism in some of the stories would need a open discussion with any children looking to read this, as although in its original context was highly normative, it has now aged poorly. The mythos surrounding the stories are still enjoyable, albeit one must be aware of the imbedded orentalism. My first favorite book! I don't remember the first time I read (or was read) these stories, looked at the illustrations, & matched the poems to a tune as it was the first book I ever owned (though, not this exact edition). My top two favorite stories are "How the Leopard got his Spots" & "The Butterfly that Stamped". I cannot recommend this collection of stories highly enough! > Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Kipling-Histoires-comme-ca/921972 > Bouquineux : http://www.bouquineux.com/?telecharger=2176&Kipling-Histoires_comme_%C3%A7a > Gallica : https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k62857530 > Gallica : https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9739672p > Critiques Libres : http://www.critiqueslibres.com/i.php/vcrit/18974 > Biblioblog : https://www.biblioblog.fr/post/2006/10/25/362-les-histoires-comme-ca-rudyard-kip... > Paperblog : https://www.paperblog.fr/2003562/histoires-comme-ca/ > Cairn…info : https://www.cairn.info/revue-humanisme-2009-1-page-122.htm > HISTOIRES COMME ÇA, de Rudyard Kipling. — Une nouvelle édition, une nouvelle traduction, elles sont bien servies, ces Histoires comme ça de Kipling qu'on relit toujours avec le même plaisir. Il faut dire que ce gros volume de 350 pages a tout pour devenir un classique de la bibliothèque enfantine: les douze histoires y figurent dans leur version originale, et les gravures sur bois de May Angeli les illustrent avec une fraîcheur, des textures, une circulation du trait qui n'ont rien à envier à des méthodes plus «maniables». Les couleurs de ce Sud que l'artiste affectionne éclatent ici en un festival d'impressions […] […] comme intemporelles. Un très beau travail... Illustr. de May Angeli. Le Sorbier. Dès 9 ans.

My copy of Just So Stories, in it's brick-red cover with the Elephant's Child straining away with all his might to escape the jaws of the Crocodile on the banks of "the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River", the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake in close attendance was the first book I truly loved. ... Kipling has an Aesopian understanding of animals, our dealings with them and our curious interrelatedness, interdependence, how we can learn about our own strange behaviour, our vanities and our foolishness through them and through our relationship with them. Han skriver med lätt hand och bitvis är det i bästa brittiska nonsenstradition, men i sin helhet förstås långt bort från Lewis Carrolls självklara genialitet. Barnen roas med vilda påhitt, verser, upprepningar och konstigheter. I god sagoanda förväntar man sig att landa mjukt i sensmoralens klokskap. Men hos Kipling landar man hårt. När den lilla elefantungen som ständigt blir bestraffad för sin frågvishet tillägnar sig sin snabel, då är det för att ge igen för den misshandel han utstått. [B]erättelserna är utformade med en sådan språklig uppfinningsrikedom – väl tillvaratagen av översättaren – att även mycket frågvisa lyssnare torde frestas att hålla tyst för att inte missa nästa fantasieggande formulering. I framställningen paras gulligt nosens med det lösligt högtravande, vilket stundtals gör att berättelserna får drag av tidig surrealism. Visst riktar sig boken till unga läsare, fast den är skruvad på ett sådant vis att även vuxna har stort utbyte av den.
