Summary
Just So Stories is werk van Joseph Rudyard Kipling daterend uit 1902. In tegenstelling tot de eerste Engelse uitgave van Macmillan, bevat de Amerikaanse uitgave door Scribner in 1903 een dertiende verhaal, 'The Tabu Tale'. Dat verhaal is ook terug te vinden in het handschrift van de tekst dat in de British Library berust. Dit boek gebruikt de raciale en andere scheldwoorden uit zijn tijd zoals ze geschreven zijn; de Boekgids legt deze woorden uit waar ze voorkomen.
