The Jungle Book (Puffin Classics)

by Rudyard Kipling

The Jungle Book (Puffin Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:

The Jungle Books, regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children and best known for the Mowgli series, also constitutes a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth and magic, are underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery and the nature of the Law.
