'These stories have the ageless resonance of myth, for beneath his addictive adventures and hypnotic prose, Kipling was grappling with big questions: who are we? Where do we come from? How should we live?' Daily Telegraph


'They sing in my head even now... What a wonderful storyteller/poet he was' Michael Morpurgo, Guardian
