For more than century, The Jungle Book has enchanted young readers with its tales of Mowgli, the man-cub raised by wolves in the jungles of India, and the many animal acquaintances who populate his wild world: Akela, the wolf; Bagheera, the panther; Kaa, the python; Hathi, the elephant; Kotick, the white seal; Shere Khan, the tiger, and, of course, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the valorous mongoose. This edition of Rudyard Kipling's classic features beautiful color plates by Maurice and Edward Detmold that bring these stories vividly to life and enhance their magical sense of wonder.
