<p>Kipling's The Legend of the Ancients is one of the most famous collections of children's stories written by Kipling the first British author to win the Nobel Prize. Among all Kipling's works his favorite is this book 'The Legend of the Ancients'. Every story can be considered a representative work of Kipling. His love for animals seems to be innate and he draws great inspiration from it. The stories collected in this book such as The Elephant's Child How the Spots on the Leopard Grew The Solitary Cat and other fables were originally told by Kipling to his child's nurse. The former spoke with great interest while the latter listened intently. These stories are based on themes and described environments ranging from animals to the origin of letters from prehistoric caves to tropical jungles in Africa. The writing is humorous and vivid accompanied by poetry and rhymes as well as mysterious illustrations reflecting the author's superb creativity. Opening the book it felt as if Kipling was everywhere. He might be in a corner of the book or in an illustration slyly blinking his eyes and creating one magical after another</p><p>????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????-??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????......</p>
