The Jungle Book - Paperback

by Rudyard Kipling (Author)

The Jungle Book is a collection of fables by noted 19th century author, Rudyard Kipling. Drawing upon his own childhood in India, the tales collected in this whimsical volume concern the life of a young boy raised by wolves and his jungle companions, as well as other stories of animals which embody human virtues and vices. Kipling's characters, including the boy Mowgli, the bear Baloo, the nefarious tiger Shere Khan, and the valiant mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, have inspired many adaptations, and continue to enchant new generations in these original stories.
