Kipling writes children’s literature like nobody else. The Just So Stories, are a series of profound soul-searching questions afloat in a sea of whimsy and childlike fantasy. Hearing them as a tiny kid, I felt the depth and while I didn’t understand it, I understood it was something The Cat in the Hat lacked.
As an adult I enjoy The Jungle Books even more. Kipling adds elements to his worlds that stick with you like a pebble in your shoe.
Borges said that Kipling could have written the last true epic, but instead settled on children’s literature.
