Beschreibung

Herein are a collection of illustrated children’s stories and poems by the English author Rudyard Kipling set in the jungles of India. Originally published as short stories in a magazine, so popular were they, that the author was persuaded to put them into a book as a single collection. The Jungle Book, and its sequel, are now considered to be a classic of children’s literature. The principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. The stories feature Mowgli the man-cub’s adventures with his animal brethren and the lessons they teach him in order to survive. Set in a forest in India; thought to be the "Seonee" (Seoni) forest in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, the supporting cast of characters are animals such as Akela the wolf, Shere Khan the tiger, Baloo the bear, Kaa the python and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the mongoose amongst the many which feature. The story traces his growth from man-cub to young man and his eventual re-introduction into human society and the struggles of letting go of old friends and relationships in order to move on. So sit back with a steamy beverage and be prepared to be entertained for many-an-hour. If and when you come to pick up the story where you left it, don’t be surprised if you find a younger reader is now engrossed in the book and is reluctant to let it go. 10% of the net sale will be donated to charities by the publisher. ============== ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. Kipling's notable works include The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Kim, Captains Courageous, The Man Who Would be King, "If—", "Gunga Din" and "The White Man's Burden". He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature, and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling, Indian Jungle, Tales from Old India, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, Mowgli, Brothers, Hunting-Song, Seeonee Pack, Kaa, Road-Song, Bandar-Log, Tiger, White Seal, Lukannon, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Rikki Tikki Tavi, Darzee, Chaunt, Toomai, Elephants, Shiv, Grasshopper, Her Majesty, Servant, Parade-Song, Camp Animals, Bagheera, Shere Khan, Baloo, seoni, forest, Madhya Pradesh, Bagheera, Nag, Kotick, Kala, Akela, Wolf, Sea, Brother, Nagaina, mother, Billy, Petersen, Father, Sahib, Council, buffaloes, Tabaqui, Buldeo, camel, Novastoshnah, holluschickie, mongoose, Monkey, Matkah, Waingunga, naked, Keddah, talking, India, companions, Kerick, Machua, cobra, Appa, Man, Chuchundra

The Jungle Book

Now Rann, the Kite, brings home the night

That Mang, the Bat, sets free—

The herds are shut in byre and hut,

For loosed till dawn are we.

This is the hour of pride and power,

Talon and tush and claw.

Oh, hear the call!—Good hunting all

That keep the Jungle Law!

Night-Song in the Jungle.

Mowgli's Brothers

IT was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in the tips. Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived. "Augrh!" said Father Wolf, "it is time to hunt again"; and he was going to spring downhill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined: "Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves; and good luck and strong white teeth go with the noble children, that they may never forget the hungry in this world."

It was the jackal—Tabaqui, the Dish-licker—and the wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about making mischief, and telling tales, and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village rubbish-heaps.

"'GOOD LUCK GO WITH YOU, O CHIEF OF THE WOLVES.'"

They are afraid of him too, because Tabaqui, more than anyone else in the jungle, is apt to go mad, and then he forgets that he was ever afraid of any one, and runs through the forest biting everything in his way. Even the tiger hides when little Tabaqui goes mad, for madness is the most disgraceful thing that can overtake a wild creature. We call it hydrophobia, but they call it
