Synopsis
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling.
Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear, though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves.
The Jungle Book is a classic story of friendship between man and beast. Saved from the jaws of the evil tiger Shere Khan, young Mowgli is adopted by a wolf pack and taught the law of the jungle by lovable old Baloo the bear and Bhageera the panther.
The adventures of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the snake-fighting mongoose, little Toomai and the elephant's secret dance, and Kotick the white seal are all part of Mowgli's extraordinary journey with his animal friends.
With an introduction by Christopher Paolini. The book includes a behind-the-scenes journey, including an author profile, a guide to who's who, activities and more.

External Reviews
"What do you say about a classic. Kipling wrote many books about India during the Raj period. They are filled with stories of the period and the people, rich and poor, Anglo and Indian. The Jungle Book is a bit different in that the tales (no pun intended) are about animals. One of them Riki Tiki Too is about a mongoose, and the theme is the interdependence between people and animals and how they can learn to work together and appreciate each other. I highly recommend this book, for children as well as adults. There is a lot to learn here."
" . . . There’s revenge, friendship, found family vibes, enmity, adventure and fun." - Google Reviews.
The Author
Rudyard Kipling is one of the best-known of the late Victorian poets and story-tellers. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book, Kim, and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King". Although he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907, his political views, which grew more toxic as he aged, have long made him critically unpopular.
