Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1902, is now considered to be a classic of children’s literature. The twelve tales included are all humorous “origin” stories purporting to tell how certain animals gained their distinctive features. For example, “The Elephant’s Child” tells how the elephant gained its long trunk because of a baby elephant having its nose pulled and stretched by a crocodile. The stories originated as bedtime tales Kipling invented for his daughter and told to her each night. The stories had to be told in exactly the same words each night—“just so”—or his daughter would complain. Early editions of Just So Stories were illustrated in black and white by Kipling himself, which lends the collection a certain charm. We have reproduced these illustrations in the Standard Ebooks edition of the book. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Book excerpt: Just So-me Stories flirts with the hyphen in between "non" and "fiction" in chronicling the darkest moments of Matt Greenfield's young life. "The Edge Behind Me" investigates a Memorial Day weekend/breakdown in the life of an alienated young teacher and would-be rock star known only as "Mr. B" as he interacts with students, parents, the vapid bar/concert scene, and an imaginary interviewer, all while trying to dodge the mystical musical inspiration he carries inside of him. "Drug-Induced Wanderings, Hooped Up on Them Goofballs" is the brief unexpurgated account of Greenfield's subconscious as his conscious self struggles with the side effects of a narcotic cough syrup one Thanksgiving weekend. And "And Found" is the true-but-much-elaborated story of Greenfield's peripatetic cross-country odyssey during his first full summer as a teacher. While the students are away, the teachers will play in these three witty, insightful, and completely un/true explorations of the solipsistic human spirit.

Book excerpt: It Just So Happened is the story of how, against all odds, Darrick Lareva came through a series of amazing miracles to survive a horrendous car accident on the way home from Bible college for Christmas break. You will cry, and also rejoice, as you read through the narrative of miracles that occurred during his recovery. Here is an example: His mother needed to make many phone calls. She bought a prepaid calling card, but before she could use it, someone gave her one. Then someone gave her another and another and another. She never did use her calling card while she was in the hospital with Darrick.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories is one of the best-loved story collections ever written for children. In this companion to Volume I, published in fall 2013, acclaimed children’s book illustrator Ian Wallace once again reinterprets the famous tales with luminous art, bringing Kipling to a new generation of young readers. Many of the tales are origin stories, explaining, for example, how an animal came to be, or the how the alphabet and writing began. They all display Kipling’s vivid imagination, inventive vocabulary and engaging word play. And once again Ian Wallace makes intriguing connections between the stories in his richly imagined illustrations. The second volume, as visually breathtaking as the first, includes “The Beginning of the Armadilloes,” “How the First Letter Was Written,” “How the Alphabet Was Made,” The Crab That Played with the Sea,” “The Cat That Walked by Himself” and “The Butterfly That Stamped.” The first edition of Just So Stories was published in Great Britain in 1902, along with black-and-white illustrations by Kipling himself. The stories have remained in print ever since, delighting young readers in many countries. This new edition, published more than 110 years after the original, has been edited to remove a few references now understood to be offensive. Inspired by these remarkable stories and the fact that they are set all over the world, Ian Wallace has chosen to make an annual donation to the International Board on Books for Young People’s Fund for Children in Crisis (www.ibby.org).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertha Lee Bethea, a girl raised by a grandmother who was once a slave, adapted to a new way of life in the South during a time not long after slavery was abolished. The African American experience in America is often times seen through the eyes of slavery and the Civil Rights Movement; however, we rarely highlight those unsung heroes and families who endured “hard times” as they transitioned from slavery, through the Great Depression, and persevered. Bertha is one of many unsung heroes. She gives a personal and detailed account of the state of the African American family during the 1920s, 1930s, and beyond. She shares her life, her heartaches, her loves and her victories. She speaks to families whose ancestors never had the opportunity to tell their stories to their children, while simultaneously educating and broadening the knowledge of the reader. Bertha exemplifies the epitome of a God-fearing woman to her 12 children and over 170 grandchildren. She leaves a sweet fragrance upon every life she touches. Her story had to be told, for it is an unassuming story of an extraordinary woman who, at the age of ninety-nine, chronicled her life... Just So You Would Know!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, richly illustrated exploration of the poignant origins of Rudyard Kipling's world-famous children's classic From "How the Leopard Got Its Spots" to "The Elephant's Child," Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories have delighted readers across the world for more than a century. In this original study, John Batchelor explores the artistry with which Kipling created the Just So Stories, using each tale as an entry point into the writer's life and work--including the tragedy that shadows much of the volume, the death of his daughter Josephine. Batchelor details the playful challenges the stories made to contemporary society. In his stories Kipling played with biblical and other stories of creation and imagined fantastical tales of animals' development and man's discovery of literacy. Richly illustrated with original drawings and family photographs, this account reveals Kipling's public and private lives--and sheds new light on a much-loved and tremendously influential classic.
