childhood stories with the next generation! Rescued as a baby from
Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes, Mowgli is brought up
by the Law of the Jungle. He learns how to hunt and how to speak
the languages of the jungle creatures. As he embarks on a series of
thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures
as Bagheera, the graceful black panther, Baloo the kindly brown
bear, and Kaa, the deadly snake with the hypnotic stare. But Mowgli
is a man, and he knows that one day he must take his place among
his own kind. First, he must face his life-long enemy, Shere Khan,
in a battle of wits and strength to discover who is the true King
of the Jungle. A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the
world's best loved stories. 'Ingpen's drawings are utterly

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

A collection of Rudyard Kipling's articles describing the French
Frontline during the First World War. Published to coincide with
the 150th anniversary of Rudyard Kipling's birth.
Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the
University of York. This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling
(1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive
Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as
the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize
for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms
and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with
dramatic monologues and extended ballads. He is often thought of as
glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an
attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This
edition reprints George Orwell's hard-hitting account of Kipling's
poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of
the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.
It's never too soon to share your favourite classics with the next

unforgettable creatures such as Bagheera, the graceful black
panther; Baloo, the kindly brown bear; and Kaa, the snake with the
hypnotic stare. A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the

Three tales from Kipling's "Jungle Books". "Mowgli's Brothers"
tells the story of Mowgli, the young boy raised by wolves and under
the protection of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther, as
they face the threat of the tiger, Shere Khan. In "The King's
Ankus", Mowgli is led to a vast treasure in a hidden city by the
python, Kaa. He does not realise, however that the allure of the
treasure leads men to kill... In "Red Dog", Mowgli and his wolfpack
are under threat from a vicious pack of wild dogs, and Mowgli must
turn to Kaa for help to defeat them. Classics Illustrated tells
these wonderful tales in colourful comic strip form, offering an
excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also
includes a biography of Rudyard Kipling, theme discussions, a poem
by Kipling and study questions, which can be used both in the
classroom and at home to further engage the reader in the story.

best-loved, essential classics. How did the leopard get its spots?
Why do the tides ebb and flow? How did the elephant get its trunk?
And how was the alphabet made? Rudyard Kipling's classic collection
of fables answers the great questions of animal- and humankind in a
fun, eloquent and magical way - for children and adults alike.
Kipling's beautifully imaginative answers echo the animal fables he
heard during his childhood in India, paired with the folk tales he
collected throughout his life. Kipling's enjoyment in playing with
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
in Kipling's fanciful storytelling and gift for language, as every
reading uncovers a new joke, subtext or fascinating embellishment.
From the author of 'The Jungle Book' and 'Kim', 'Just So Stories'
is the newest addition to the available canon of Kipling's work
available in the handy format of Collins Classics!

First published in 1888, Plain Tales from the Hills was Kipling's
first volume of prose fiction. His vignettes of life in British
India give vivid insights into Anglo-India at work and play, and
into the character of the Indians themselves. Witty, wry, sometimes
cynical, these tales with their brevity and concentration of effect
are landmarks in the history of the short story as an art-form.
