Om denne e-bog
Among the best loved of all children's classics, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is set among a community of animals in the jungles of India, where Kipling was born and grew up. Three of the stories feature the adventures of an abandoned "man cub," a boy named Mowgli, who is raised by wolves in the jungle. Other well-known stories in the collection include "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," the tale of a heroic mongoose who outwits vicious cobras in order to save his human benefactors, and "Toomai of the Elephants," the story of a ten-year-old elephant-handler.

Om forfatteren
Rudyard Kipling was an English poet, novelist and short-story writer born in 1865 in India. The country provided inspiration for his works, in particular for Kim (1901) and Plain Tales from the Hills (1888). His legacy is vast, with novels such as The Jungle Book (1894), short stories including ‘The Man Who Would Be King’ and a multitude of poems such as ‘If—’ (1910) and ‘Mandalay’ (1890) among his most well-known works. He was a great innovator in children’s stories and in the art of short-story writing and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of his extraordinary writing abilities.
