  he stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. The original editions of Just So Stories were illustrated with woodcuts by Kipling himself. Each story is accompanied by a poem, in a somewhat ballad style. Many of the stories are addressed to “Best Beloved” (they were first written for Kipling’s eldest daughter, Josephine, who had died during an outbreak of influenza in 1899), and throughout they use a comically elevated style inspired by the formal speech of India, full of long and improbable-sounding words, some of them made up. As a result, it is a delight to read them aloud, and easy to memorize passages from them.

  Young victor frankenstein and his creations   
  Book 4 of 6 – stella spark lights the way – the seaside adventure 
   summary of this fourth book in the series is as follows:: 
   Victor Frankenstein and his creations visit Pebblecove for the Midsummer Night Boat Parade, only to discover the lighthouse is broken. Stella Spark, Victor’s star-shaped creation, volunteers to replace it with her luminous glow. During the parade, a sudden storm endangers the boats, and Stella pushes herself beyond her limits—emitting one final, brilliant flash to guide them safely home before fusing out completely. Victor revives her, and she awakens with a dazzling new ability to project rainbow-colored light. The villagers celebrate Stella as a hero, and Captain Barnacle gifts her a prism to enhance her radiant displays. The adventure proves that Stella’s courage and self-sacrifice have made her light stronger than ever. As they rest by the shore, Victor reflects on how his creations continue to grow and surprise him, just as he grows alongside them.  
  The initial opening credit is operatic in style with both male and female vocals paying homage to the late 18th century when victor lived and runs to approximately 3 minutes. The closing music has both an element of classic and current music to add a bit of excitement to the end for the listening children. 
  The story and music itself runs to just under 40 MINUTES and is narrated in the voice of claire francis, my wife. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
