The Adventures of Mowgli

Rudyard Kipling
Select Preferred Format

Rudyard Kipling’s eternal classics, The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book, are most loved for the stories of Mowgli, the boy who grew up in a wolf pack. This book brings together all the stories of
Mowgli. It begins with Father Wolf rescuing an abandoned baby boy from the tiger Shere Khan, terror of the jungle. The child grows up among the animals, befriending Bagheera the Panther, Baloo the Bear, and making mortal enemies with Shere Khan the Tiger. He is kidnapped by monkeys, exiled by the wolf pack, disowned by humans, till he finally vanquishes Shere Khan and returns to the forest. But the call of his own kind grows stronger, and he eventually finds his own, tenuous place among men and animals.

Kipling’s creations from the two Jungle Books-human and animal-have remained alive in literature and celluloid for nearly a century. They have mesmerized, entertained and educated generations of children. In this special edition, Mowgli comes alive once more, through an affectionate, heartwarming introduction by another favourite children’s writer, Ruskin Bond.
