Short Stories - How the Leopard got His Spots by Rudyard Kipling

This episode is my narration of the Rudyard Kipling classic we are all familiar with. Kipling is known the world over for his famous story of Mowgli, the boy raised by a bear and a panther in The Jungle Book. Immortalised by the Disney animation and the wonderful song writing skills of Terry Gilkyson and the Sherman Brothers and the musical composition of George Bruns.

Kipling wrote so much more, travelled far and wide and had political opinions of which the modern world knows very little. His life is a study of colonialism and thought, strife and opportunity, literature and prejudice.

Rudyard Kipling passed away on January 18th 1936. I release this episode to coincide with that sad occasion.
