~ Trade Paperback Orphaned as a baby, human-boy Mowgli is adopted by wolves, befriended by Baloo the bear, and educated in the wonders and dangers of the Indian jungle. The stories in The Jungle Book explore themes like abandonment, fostering, law, freedom, respect, obedience, courage, survival, principles and morals, coming-of-age, and the thrill of self-discovery. Rudyard Kipling’s famous fables reflect both his childhood in India and his vivid imagination, while also exploring the relationship between civilization and the wild. This edition also contains the original illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling, W.H. Drake, and Paul Frenzeny. Show more
