The Jungle Books
- Used Book in Good Condition
First published in 1894 and 1895, The Jungle Books remain some of the most beloved tales of all time. Adored by readers of all ages, these classic stories in two volumes spin the unforgettable story of Mowgliâ€”a boy raised by a pack of wolvesâ€”as he learns indelible lessons about the laws of the jungle as well as the needs of the heart. Through Mowgliâ€™s journey, readers also meet the tiger Shere Khan, who stalks man and beast alike, the rock python Kaa, who dispenses wisdom, and the aging wolf Akela, who struggles as his leadership of the pack is challenged. Set in India, Kiplingâ€™s great masterpiece is an allegory for Britainâ€™s imperialism, filled with high adventure and extraordinary characters. The mythic tale of a boy looking for where he truly belongsâ€”either with the man-pack of the village or the wolf-pack of the wildâ€”The Jungle Books touch both our intellect and our emotions, while Kiplingâ€™s dazzling storytelling makes them the timeless archetype for popular tales to come.
