RUDYARD KIPLING How The First Letter Was Written cassette tape Just So Stories This is “How The First Letter Was Written,” by Rudyard Kipling, a previously-owned audio-cassette-tape in its original case with all artwork. Manufactured independently by Lifetime Classics, the tape plays perfectly and has been double-checked. "How the First Letter Was Written" is a short story originally found in Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories for Little Children.” Of note, it introduces the only characters who appear in more than one story, a family of cave-people named Tegumai Bopsulai (the father), Teshumai Tewindrow (the mother), and Taffimai Metallumai, (the daughter). The story explains how Taffimai delivered a picture message to her mother.
