The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, Fiction, Classics - Paperback

by Rudyard Kipling (Author)

They are the tales of Mowgli, the lost boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India, brought up on a diet of Jungle Law, loyalty, and fresh meat from the kill, and they have captivated children and adults alike for generations. There is no better place to learn the life of the wolf pack and the natural order -- the natural justice -- of life in the jungle. And who could ever forget Mowgli's enemy, Shere Khan, the bragadocious Bengal tiger? To say nothing of Rikki-tikki-tavi, the mongoose? In this first volume, we learn how Mowgli came to be raised in the jungle, and how the wolves secured his safety. . . .
