The Just So Stories and The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling have always held a fascination for me

—— HRH Prince of Wales

Rudyard Kipling laid the foundations of modern children's literature with works such as The Jungle Book... wild, magnificent stories that felt as though they'd always existed, stories people might have told each other in the caves
