Examining image and text in Just So Stories for Little Children (1902) through the lens of Rudyard Kipling’s 1906–15 letters to his children, this essay analyzes his art of dialogic fluidity in epistolary and story-telling forms. Each mode, in his hands, stresses shared creativity, playfulness, temporal shifts, and identity-in-process.
