Ricky-Tikki-Tavi. 6th edition. Kipling R.J.

Joseph Redyard Kipling (1865-1936)-English writer, poet, first Englishman who received the Nobel Prize in Literature (1907) "For observation, vivid imagination, maturity of ideas and an outstanding talent of the narrator." Kipling was born in India, and at the age of 5, his parents sent him to study in England. For the boy, these were difficult years - the mistress of the private boarding house, where he lived, did not treat him well. But in the same years, he loved to read. A little later, in time to study at a private Devonian school, Redyard himself will begin to write. Father was so impressed with his stories that he helped his son find the work of a journalist in the editorial office of the Civil and Military Newspaper.

In 1882, Kipling returns to India. He works as a journalist, writes short stories and poems, travels a lot. Rudyard Kipling wrote many wonderful fairy tales, their main characters - people and animals - coexist as absolutely equal residents of one planet. In these joking fairy tales, young readers will find answers to hundreds of different “how” and “why” - as the first letter was written, why the camel has a hump, where the whale has such a narrow sip, where the rhino has a skin in folds. Kipling has fairy tales that you need to think about.

The protagonist of the fairy tale “Motyl, who stomped with his foot,”-the wisest ruler of Suleiman-Ben-Daud, who understood the language of animals and birds, was sometimes succumbing to boasting and vanity. But the fairy tale teaches that any drawbacks, if you really want to want this, can be corrected with love, a cordial attitude towards each other. And the writer did not forget about adventures! The water from the stories of the “Book of the Jungle” tells about the victory of the Mangust Ricki-Tiki-Tavi over huge cobras and how he saved the people he lived from fierce death.

In this book, the child will get acquainted with the fairy tales “Ricki-Tikki-Tavi”, “As folds appeared on the skin of the rhino”, “A bloodbound that stomped his foot.”
