Just So Stories ( 1902) by Rudyard Kipling are fanciful "explanations" of Nature, such as How the Elephant Got His Trunk ( it was stretched by a crocodile!). A "just so story" is a whimsical or humorous account of something that really does have another, scientifically accurate explanation.
Rudyard Kipling expressed a belief in a higher power and the divine in some of his works, but he did not adhere to a specific religious ideology. His views on God can be seen as complex and multifaceted, reflecting a sense of wonder and questioning rather than a clear-cut doctrine.
In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" by Rudyard Kipling, a young mongoose named Rikki-Tikki protects a British family living in India from cobras. He forms a close bond with the family and bravely fights the cobras, ultimately saving their lives. The story highlights themes of courage, loyalty, and the power of teamwork.
There were many poet-soldiers in World War 1. My personal favourite is Seigfried Sassoon. Others were John McCrae, Laurence Binyon, Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen. All of these men served bravely in the trenches. Another famous poet of WW1 was Rudyard Kipling whose son Jack died in the trench warfare.
