Reseña del editor:

“The animals went in two by two. Hurrah!”

The Jungle Book is the story of Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves: his escapades and adventures with his dear friends Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear, his capture by the Monkey-People, his attempt at reintegration into human society, and his ultimate triumph over the lame tiger Shere Khan.

Rudyard Kipling’s classic story has thrilled generations of children and formed the basis for the unforgettable 1967 Disney movie.

Among the other classic stories included in this collection are Rikki-Tikki-Tavi about a mongoose who saves a family from a cobra, and Toomai of the Elephants about a young elephant handler.

Includes original essay 'Who Was Rudyard Kipling?'

Biografía del autor:

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and its youngest recipient to date. Among other honours, he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, all of which he declined.
