The Jungle Books
Rudyard Kipling
A classic collection of animal stories, here
presented in its entirity with a beautiful cover illustrated by Ian Beck. It
contains extra material for young readers and fun activities.
The adventures of Mowgli, the young man raised by
wolves in the jungles of Central India, and his friends Baloo the bear,
Bagheera the panther and Kaa the python, as they face the arch villain Shere
Khan the tiger, have become so popular that they have achieved an almost
mythical status throughout the world. They were collected by Kipling in The
Jungle Book and its sequel, The Second Jungle Book, which also contain other
stories set in India which prominently feature animals, such as the well-known
'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi', which describes the struggles of a mongoose against venomous
cobras.
Here presented with brand-new illustrations by Ian
Beck, these hugely popular tales, inspired by ancient fables and Kipling's own
experiences in India, form a vivid account of the relationship between humans
and nature, and will continue to inspire readers young and old.
