Originally told to Kipling's own children - particularly his daughter Josephine, this collection of stories represent Kipling's art at its finest point. Generations of readers remember 'the great grey-green, greasy Limpopu' and 'the Cat that walks by himself and all places are alike to him'. This new edition of Best-Loved Children's Stories, with an introduction by Neil Philip, adds two extra stories to the original twelve - The Tabu Tale and Ham and the Porcupine.
