The Just So Stories for Little Children were written by British author Rudyard Kipling. They are highly fanticised origin stories and are among his best known, and arguably best, works. The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. A forerunner of these stories is "How Fear Came" in The Second Jungle Book (1895), in which Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes.
