Synopsis
Rudyard Kipling's delightful story telling how the elephant got his trunk is given a stunning new interpretation by a top artist. Geoffrey Patterson has abridged the original text for a younger audience without losing any of Kipling's much-loved turns of phrase. Elegant and whimsical illustrations give a fresh, vibrant look to a classic story.

He lives in Norfolk.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. He only had a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side; but he couldn’t pick up things with it.
But there was one Elephant – a new Elephant – an Elephant’s Child – who was full of ’satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions.
