Just So Stories
Rudyard KiplingPhilip Pullman@stsilasyear3_4 Gosh. My favourite of my own: 'Clockwork'. First ever book I enjoyed: I sometimes say Rudyard Kipling's 'Just-So Stories', but really I suspect it was 'Noddy goes to Toyland'. Advice to young writers: read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read!
