A short story originally published as part of The Jungle Book. When
a family moves to India and rescues a half-drowned mongoose called
Rikki-tikki-tavi, they grow very fond of the cheeky fellow and soon
he runs in and out of the house as much as he pleases. The happy
mongoose eats at the table with the mother and father, and sleeps
in the nursery with their little boy, Teddy. But the family do not
realise that evil lives in the bushes by their home – a pair of
king cobras, who are plotting to kill the whole family so they can
rule the garden! Only Rikki-tikki-tavi can save the family from
certain death, but is he brave and strong enough to fight both of
them alone? Rikki-tikki-tavi was originally published as part of
The Jungle Book in 1894. In this edition, Kipling's story is
complete and unabridged. With atmospheric illustrations from the
award-winning artist, Robert Ingpen. 'Ingpen's drawings are utterly
compelling' – Michael Morpurgo
