Рикки-Тикки-Тави. Сказки

Rudyard Kipling is an English poet and writer. The tales included in this collection describe in a playful manner why certain phenomena appeared in the world: why does the elephant have a long trunk, where do leopards get their spots, who were armadillos before they became armadillos… Perhaps these theories are not accurate, but they are very interesting to read! In addition, the collection includes the story "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" about a brave mongoose who had to fight cobras alone.
