What this book is about
Rudyard Kipling's classic 1894 collection of stories follows Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, and features Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, and Shere Khan the tiger. The connected stories about Mowgli are interspersed with other animal tales. The Disney adaptations have made the characters iconic, but Kipling's original is richer, darker, and more morally complex than the animated versions suggest. The law of the jungle — Kipling's code of honor and survival — pervades all the stories.
