The Jungle Book (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

First published in 1894, The Jungle Book is Rudyard Kipling's most celebrated work--a collection of short stories set in the Indian jungle that follows the journey of Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, and his encounters with the wise bear Baloo, the black panther Bagheera, and the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. Beyond Mowgli's story, this edition also includes other classic jungle tales such as Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and The White Seal, which explore themes of courage, survival, and the natural order.
