Manga Classic - Jungle Book

Manga Classics brings Rudyard Kipling's original collection of short stories to life in this fantastic collection. Heavily influenced by his childhood in British-ruled India, Kipling created some of the most widely read children's stories in Western culture. The first book of the Jungle Book(s) includes Mowgli's Brothers, the story of Mowgli, the abandoned man-cub who was raised by animals in the Indian jungle, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the Heroic Mongoose, and Toomai of Elephants, the tale of a young elephant trainer, and in The White Seal we meet Kotick, a rare white-furred northern fur seal as he searches for a home where his family won't be driven out by the humans. Originally published as a series of short stories for magazines in the late 1800s, Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling would eventually publish the classic The Jungle Book in 1894.
