I have about 2 1/2 shelf feet of Kipling, the oldest edition going back to 1908 or so. My grandchildren will have the opportunity (and will be encouraged) to read real Kipling.

Disney is evil.

Oh so true, my friend. A little research on Uncle Walt turns up stomach churning, hair raising details on just what he was up to.

Evil beyond one's imagination.

I have about that much shelf space full of Nevil Shute Complete Works, but my Kipling is confined to my Android phone & laptop. All Gutenberg Project and other public domain sources.

We have friends in Central America with 5 small kids. On the long rides out to an Indian village I’d read to them from the Jungle Books and the Just So Stories. Very enjoyable for them AND for me.
