‘We be of one blood, ye and I.’
Hunted by Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger with the blazing eyes, Mowgli grows up in the jungle with a wolf pack, under the
protection of Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the brown bear who teaches wolf cubs the Laws of the Jungle. Learning values of brotherhood, family, courage and the timeless lesson of oneness with Nature and its mesmerizing creatures, Mowgli confronts his deepest fears—where does
he belong?
With The Jungle Books, Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient
beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his
Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich, symbolic portrait
of man and nature, and an eternal classic of childhood.
Written more than 100 years ago, this beloved classic will keep readers young and old turning the pages, and then
begging for more.
