India, is one of the greatest literary works of all time. This
magnificent edition of Kipling's masterpiece is illustrated by Hans
Christian Andersen Medalist Robert Ingpen.
Rescued as an infant from the savage tiger Shere Khan, Mowgli is
reared by a pack of wolves. His days are filled with excitement and
danger as he learns the ways of the jungle from Bagheera the
panther and the wise bear, Baloo. As the boy grows, he also learns
he must take his place among his own kind-- but first, he must face
Shere Khan in a battle of wits and strength to discover the true
King of the Jungle... .Along with the story of Mowgli are other
jungle tales-- including "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," "The White Seal," and
"Toomai of the Elephants"-- lending depth and diversity to our
understanding of Kipling's India.
