"In the High and Far-Off Times...there was one Elephant--a new Elephant--an Elephant's Child--who was full of 'satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions..."
Rudyard Kipling's famous Just So Stories provide imaginative answers to the many questions children ask about the world and the animals we share it with.
In this magical audio recording, iconic actress and wildlife conservationist Virginia McKenna OBE brings the best beloved of Kipling's stories to a brand new audience. The reading is followed by a fascinating hour-long interview in which McKenna talks with Alison Larkin about her life, her work rescuing wild animals, the Born Free Foundation and how children of all ages can help make a difference. She also reads a few poems of her own inspired by animals she has known!
