Publisher's Synopsis
The Jungle Book shows Kipling's writing for children at its best. It is a collection of short stories and poems, revolving round the boy Mowgli, who was raised by a pack of wolves in India. We meet the tiger, Shere Khan, who attacked and drove off Mowgli's parent; Bagheera, the black panher; Baloo the sleepy brown bear; and the evil python, Kaa.
