Living among the wolves in the jungle, young man cub Mowgli quickly learns to live life among his wolf pack and all the animals that inhabit the jungle. But when the villainous tiger Shere Khan threatens Mowgli's life, black panther Bagheera offers to take Mowgli to a nearby man village where he will be safe from the tiger's wrath. Along the way, Mowgli gets tangled up in a series of encounters with a sly snake named Kaa, a ruthless orangutan named King Louie and a lazy bear named Baloo, who quickly becomes his guide to the 'bear necessities' of life. A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling's own childhood.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English novelist, short-story writer, poet, and journalist. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book duology, Kim, the Just So Stories and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King." His poems include "Mandalay", "Gunga Din", "The Gods of the Copybook Headings," "The White Man's Burden," and "If." He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are perennial classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift."
