(Rudyard) Kipling, Joseph Rudyard The Jungle Book There is an improved edition of this title, eBook #236 Suzanne Shell, Ernest Schaal, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling is a beloved collection of children's stories written in the late 19th century. The book primarily follows Mowgli, a human boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, as he navigates the challenges of adapting to the wild while contending with the dangers posed by both animal and human adversaries. It explores themes of belonging, identity, and the laws of nature. The opening of "The Jungle Book" introduces us to Mowgli's backstory through the lens of the wolf pack that adopts him. Set in the Seeonee hills, we witness Father Wolf and Mother Wolf as they discover a naked human cub who has wandered into their territory, narrowly escaping being claimed by the cunning tiger, Shere Khan. The decision to raise Mowgli as their own leads to pivotal moments in their lives and the lives of the animals around them, eventually culminating in Mowgli's induction into the pack, where he must navigate the complexities of jungle law and relationships within the animal kingdom while grappling with his identity as a human.
