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.
The Jungle Book introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a
family of wolves. It tells of the enmity between him and the tiger
Shere Khan, who killed Mowgli's parents, and of the friendship
between the man-cub and Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the
sleepy brown bear, who instructs Mowgli in the Laws of the Jungle.
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 ā 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' ā Michael Morpurgo

Ankus", Mowgli is led to a vast treasure in a hidden city by the

Unlike his contemporaries Virginia Woolf and Henry James, Kipling
always denied he was a critic. But his letters, speeches, and
stories are full of comments on writing and writers. This
collection, including many formerly unpublished private letters and
papers, details Kipling's response to the commercialisation of
literature and the emerging role of the writer as celebrity in the
turbulent literary world of the 1890s and beyond. They reveal a
mind intensely concerned with questions of literary value, with
language and imagination, with truth, realism, and romanticism.
Kipling's fame made him a significant spokesperson for important
segments of the reading public - the soldiers, engineers, and
functionaries central to Britain's imperial expansion. He
profoundly influenced English literary language and our perception
of English national character. This book offers access to the
private and public history of a writer whose continuing influence
is still a matter of fierce controversy.

children, and are some of Rudyard Kiplingās best-known works
alongside The Jungle Book. Complete your library with HarperCollins

language, as well as his own delight in fatherhood, makes these
stories a joy to read aloud, and children will request these tales
as bedtime stories again and again. However, adults will also revel

How did the leopard get his spots? Why won't cats come when they
are called? And why do the tides ebb and flow? These delightful
tales of porcupines and cats and kangaroos and camels were
originally bedtime stories told by Rudyard Kipling to his daughter.
They had to be told 'just-so' as his daughter would delight in
putting back a missing sentence if Kipling tried to alter the
story. Imaginative and funny, this collection of fantastical
stories were published to high acclaim and have since become a
children's classic, loved by children around the world. With an
introduction by folklorist Neil Philip and beautifully illustrated
by Isabelle Brent's fine gold paintings, this enchanting edition
will continue to delight a new generation of readers.
Part of the Legend Classics series First published in 1894, Rudyard
Kipling's beloved short story collection has entertained both young
and old readers with the story of the young boy Mowgli who's raised
by wolves. In the seven stories, each one accompanied by a poem, we
meet many classic characters, like Baloo the bear, Bagheera the
black panther as well as the tiger Shere Khan and the young
mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.
Rudyard Kipling has been described as 'one of the few complete
originals in English literature'. In his last work, Something of
Myself, he reflects on his life and the basis of his art. Yet
paradoxically this ostensibly autobiographical work (as an early
critic pointed out) actually discloses very little of himself.
Thomas Pinney's revealing edition now uncovers the extraordinary
extent to which Kipling's account of his life fails to match the
biographical facts, in a series of selections, omissions and
distortions. Illustrated with Kipling's own satirical drawings from
the manuscripts, and brought together with his other
autobiographical writings (some previously unpublished), this
fascinating book sheds new light on the intriguing relationship
between Kipling's life and work.
