JUST SO STORIES

O, my best beloved, what a feast is this collection of Kipling’s JUST SO STORIES! His luxurious language is meant to be heard, and storyteller Jim Weiss adds to the magic of these High and Far-Off Times. His narration is teeming with enthusiasm, immersing the listener in the humor and rhythm of Kipling’s picturesque language. Every character is animated with a voice brimming with personality. The sibilant hiss of the Bi-Colored-Python-Rock-Snake will lure listeners to join the Elephant’s Child on the banks of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River. The slow drawl of Slow-Solid Tortoise, the panting eagerness of Dog, the “Humph!” of smug Camel—all enhance these enduring tales. N.E.M.
