the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central

on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable
creatures as Bagheera, the graceful black panther, and Shere Khan, the
tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories range from the simple
heroism found in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi

'. A rich and complex fable of human life, Kipling's enduring classic
dazzles the imagination with its astonishing descriptive powers and
lively sense of adventure. Rudyard Kipling, (1865-1936), English
