product description
Both of Kipling's volumes of Jungle Book stories are feature in this massive omnibus edition along with his other Indian classic, Kim. The Jungle Book was Kipling's first collection of stories and includes the adventures of Mowgli, the 'man cub' who was raised by wolves in the jungle, as well as other famous tales such as 'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi', the mongoose who battles with cobras to save a human family, and 'Toomai of the Elephants'. In The Second Jungle Book, the story of Mowgli continues with a series of adventures that see him finding a King's treasure, banished from a human village for witchcraft and tempted to leave the jungle forever. Kim tells the story of the son of an Irish soldier who graduates from being a beggar in the streets of Lahore to become one of the most important secret agents in India.
