The story of the Cat is about how most animals (including us) started out Wild and became Tame. However Cats have always kept a bit of "wild" in their lives. Hoping this story encourages you, the reader, to be brave enough to "Be Yourself" and go your OWN way in life. Just like "The Cat who walked by Herself."In 1980 Sheila Graber was commissioned to create a series of animated films for World TV based on Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories" These beautifully illustrated books, with full colour images on every page, are based on the hand painted art work created on plastic "cel"for that series.

Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.
