Acclaimed British Hollywood actor Ralph Fiennes reads Rudyard Kipling's poems and excerpts from the Jungle Book, Kim, and the Just So Stories. Classic short stories and children's favourites (including 'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi') recorded in the study at Bateman's, Kipling's Jacobean house where he wrote many of his books.
