How The Camel Got His Hump (Just So Stories)

"Now this is the next tale, and it tells how the Camel got his big hump..."

Once upon a time, when the world was "new-and-all," Man turned to the animals for help—to the horse for carrying, the dog for fetching, the ox for plowing. But the camel refused to do a lick of work, haughtily replying "Humpf!" to all requests. The other animals complained of the inequity to the Djinn of all the Deserts, who, sympathetic but mischievous, used his powerful magic to punish the lazy camel.

This beloved story of how the camel got his hump is a comical tale of justice delivered, that's filled with fanciful wordplay and illustrated with wit and great charm by F. Rojankovsky.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, and is well known for works of fiction that include 'The Jungle Book' (1894), 'Kim' (1901), and many short stories, including 'The Man Who Would Be King' (1888). His poems include 'Mandalay', 'Gunga Din', 'The Gods of the Copybook Headings' (1919), 'The White Man's Burden' (1899), and 'If—' (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story, and his children's books are considered timeless classics of children's literature.
