Just So Stories is a collection of stories written by Rudyard Kipling in 1902. He developed them during one of his many journeys to Africa. He told children wonderful accounts of how the animal kingdom's eccentricities came about. The collection of stories came to be known for their wordplay and insistence of placing the wisdom of children at the heart of his stories.

Four short stories are included in this volume of Kipling works. They are: "Mowgli's Brothers" - Mowgli, a small boy, is found orphaned in the jungle by wolves and raised by them; "Kaa's Hunting" - Mowgli is kidnapped by the Bandar-log (monkeys) and rescued by Kaa, a python; "The White Seal" - The community of seals believe a great white seal will come, and deliver them from the wrath of the seal hunters; and "Rikki Tikki Tavi" - A young mongoose defends his human family against a pair of marauding cobras.

The Just So Stories began as bedtime stories told to "Effie" [Josephine, Kipling's firstborn]. When the first three were published in a children's magazine, a year before her death, Kipling explained: "....in the evening, there were stories meant to put Effie to sleep, and you were not allowed to alter those by one single little word. They had to be told just so; or Effie would wake up and put back the missing sentence." (Wikipedia)

Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived.

Mowgli, le "petit homme", a hanté notre enfance. Il est sorti des pages du "Livre de la Jungle" pour nous prendre par la main et nous entraîner dans ses hautes terres de liberté.

Revenu chez lui, il est couronné roi des éléphants et épouse sa cousine Céleste.

Ein kleiner indischer Junge wird durch den Überfall des lahmen Tigers Shere Khan auf seine Eltern von diesen getrennt und stößt im Dschungel zufällig auf eine Wolfsfamilie, die ihn unter Leitung der Wölfin Raksha zusammen mit ihrem eigenen Wurf aufzieht. Die Wölfe nennen ihn "Mowgli" und er erlernt nach und nach alle Fertigkeiten, die er zum Überleben im Dschungel benötigt. Nach einiger Zeit wird er, wie alle Wolfskinder, dem gesamten Rudel präsentiert, um begutachtet und akzeptiert zu werden. Auf die Fürsprache des Bären Balu, dem "Lehrer der Gesetze", und des schwarzen Panthers Bagheera wird er ins Rudel aufgenommen.
