The Jungle Book #405634

The Jungle Book is one of Rudyard Kipling's best known works. Most of the characters are animals like the tiger Shere Khan and the Baloo bear, even if a main character is the boy or “Mowgli” puppy, which is bred in the jungle by wolves. The stories are set in India, a land dear to the writer, and are therefore able to convey to the Western reader a sense of exotic, of mystery.
