| Summary |
Annotation Even if you're a die-hard fan of the Disney animated classic The Jungle Book, you may not know that the tales upon which the popular movie was based comprised a significant proportion of British author Rudyard Kipling's creative output. In addition to the Mowgli tales, Kipling composed dozens of other short stories about virtually every aspect of life in the jungle, the best of which are presented in this collection. |
