In this exciting deal we have put together two treasuries from two of the world's best-known children's storytellers - Rudyard Kipling (The Jungle Book) and Aesop.
Rudyard Kipling is one of the best-known of the late Victorian poets and storytellers and was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907. His most popular work, The Jungle Book, which he wrote in 1894, is still one of the most-loved children's stories, being adapted to film multiple times.
Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through several sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media.-Wikipedia
