Editorial Review of The Jungle Book
The story of Mowgli, the Man-Cub raised by wolves in the jungles of India, is one of the greatest literary works of all time. This magnificent edition of Kipling's masterpiece is illustrated by Hans Christian Andersen Medalist Robert Ingpen.
Rescued as an infant from the savage tiger Shere Khan, Mowgli is reared by a pack of wolves. His days are filled with excitement and danger as he learns the ways of the jungle from Bagheera the panther and the wise bear, Baloo. As the boy grows, he also learns he must take his place among his own kind—but first, he must face Shere Khan in a battle of wits and strength to discover the true King of the Jungle….Along with the story of Mowgli are other jungle tales—including "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," "The White Seal," and "Toomai of the Elephants"—lending depth and diversity to our understanding of Kipling's India.

Review Summary: The Real Thing
Review: My favorite books from childhood have always been Milne's "The World of Pooh" and Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Over the years I have purchased many copies of each as presents. Both can be difficult to find in versions unaltered from the original. I have found this to be particularly true in the case of The Jungle Book. Some folks just don't seem to get that Kipling had a pretty good handle on what he was doing. One does not tamper with a Masterpiece.
This version is the real thing. It reads word for word the same as the tattered, 40-year-old copy that I first read when I was eight years old. Add illustrations by Robert Ingpen that faithfully capture the emotion of the story and you have a real winner. For those who appreciate The Jungle Book as it was BEFORE it was adulterated by Mr. Disney and friends, this is a very worthy effort.
