The great English writer, the first British writer to win the Nobel Prize in literature, Rudyard Kipling is an extraordinary phenomenon, and his works are always an outstanding event. Such an event was his stories about the creation of the world and about the first animals that saw the light of day more than a hundred years ago. Kipling made them up for his daughter, who died at six. Shocked by this terrible loss, the writer completed the stories that they composed with their daughter, and created a whole treasure trove of fairy tales. Rich in poetic images, these tales fascinate both children and adults.
