The Jungle Book

Set in the lush jungles of India, this collection introduces Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves who learns the ways of the jungle to survive. Key characters include Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, who guide Mowgli, while the menacing Shere Khan poses a constant threat. The anthology also features the adventures of Kotick, a white seal seeking safety for his tribe, and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a brave mongoose defending a family from cobras. Inspired by Kipling's own childhood experiences in India, it remains a beloved classic of children's literature.
