The Jungle Book is a collection of Rudyard Kipling's animal
stories, wonderfully told and interweaving moral lessons with
classic tales. They include the stories of Mowgli, a boy raised by
wolves in the Indian jungle, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a brave mongoose,
and Toomai of the Elephants, the story of a young elephant handler.
Gloriously illustrated with the original line artwork by J.
Lockwood Kipling C.I.E and W. H. Drake and with a foreword by Ben
Fogle and a ribbon marker, this beautiful hardback edition of
Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, which was first published by
Macmillan in 1894, is a truly special gift to treasure.
Everyone loves fairy tales, both adults and children, and in this
book each person will find something both attractive and
instructive. In this volume, the heroes of these fairy tales: a
wounded dove which refuses to surrender, a tricky monkey called
Cutie, an old-time doll named Alyonushka, a naive lamb, a young
wolf which does not want to grow bloodthirsty, and other animals
will tell their stories to you, my friends and readers.

‘You must get away tonight,’ the man had told him.
David escapes from the concentration camp where he has spent his entire life and flees across Europe. He is utterly alone – who can he trust? What will await him? And all the while, how can he be sure that they won’t catch up with him . . .
This is the remarkable story of David’s introduction to the world: sea, mountains and flowers, the colours of Italy, the taste of fruit, people laughing and smiling, all are new to David. David learns that his polite manner, his haunted eyes and his thin features are strange to other people. He must learn to fend for himself in this strange new world.
An incredible story of survival against all odds and self discovery, for readers of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Book Thief.
