Jungle Book - Unabridged

"e;The Jungle Book"e; is Rudyard Kipling's beloved collection of short stories, each of which deals with animals - and sometimes people! - living in and around the jungles of India. They were the basis for the hit Walt Disney animated film of the same name. These exciting tales include all of the stories of the man-cub Mowgli, who is abandoned in the wild and raised by wolves until it is determined that he should be returned to his own people, escorted by the wily panther, Bagheera. Along the way, they encounter Baloo the Bear, Kaa the Python and the terrifying and lethal tiger Shere Khan. But in addition to the Mowgli stories, there are additional tales and songs about elephants, camels, South Sea seals and the great mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, who defends his family against a venomous, deadly cobra! These stories are presented here as originally published in their unabridged and unedited format.
