The Jungle Book: 14 Classic Short Stories with 20 Illustrations and Free Audio Files
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of fourteen short stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. The tales in the book are fables; he uses animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons – the verses of The Law of the Jungle. For example, laying down rules for the safety of individuals, families, and communities. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned “man cub” Mowgli, who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Another is “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” the story of a heroic mongoose, and also “Toomai of the Elephants,” the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling’s work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another.
