A classic fable from Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, read by Johnny Morris. Have you ever wondered how and why the animals came to be as they are? In these magical tales, drawn from stories he heard as a child in India as well as on folk traditions he later collected all over the world, Rudyard Kipling gives some wonderfully imaginative explanations.

In this clever and gently mischievous origin story, Kipling introduces listeners to a greedy Whale, a resourceful mariner armed with nothing but a raft, a cooking-stove, and a truly clever plan, and the beginning of a rule that all whales have followed ever since.

When teenagers Jay and Lila Cooper and their archaeologist father travel to Nepur, an uninviting land of deserts and danger, they must search to uncover the truth behind an ancient legend. Locals claim that inside a dark cavern called the Dragon's Throat is a forbidden Door that brings certain death to anyone who tries to open it. Armed with the knowledge that God is more powerful than any legend or curse, Jay and Lila plunge down into the Dragon's Throat, determined to find out what awaits them on the other side of the Door.

If Belinda is to save her father's kingdom from the wicked Princess Saramanda and her band of cut-throat robbers, she's going to need plenty of ideas and lots of karate practice.
