| Summary | "The Kipling Reader" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of selected works written in the late 19th century. This anthology features a diverse range of Kipling's writing, including both prose and poetry, showcasing his storytelling prowess and insightful reflections. The book brings together some of his most beloved tales and verses, such as "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" and "Mowgli's Brothers," capturing themes of adventure, bravery, and the interplay between humans and nature. At the start of the collection, the story of "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" unfolds, introducing readers to a curious and courageous mongoose named Rikki-Tikki, who is rescued and adopted by a young boy named Teddy and his family after being carried away by floodwaters. As he explores the garden, Rikki learns of the dangerous cobras, Nag and Nagaina, who threaten the family and their surroundings. The opening sets the stage for Rikki's heroic struggle against the snakes to protect his newfound family and their home, hinting at the adventurous and colorful narratives that Kipling is known for.
