Mowgli, the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central India, is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as Bagheera, the graceful black panther, and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories range from the simple heroism found in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' to the macabre comedy 'The Undertakers'. A rich and complex fable of human life, Kipling's enduring classic dazzles the imagination with its astonishing descriptive powers and lively sense of adventure.

    I couldn't understand why Mowgli in the end left the jungle when I was little. But after reading now and reading it in its original language, I have known the reason and meanings though it's not clear enough to tell.

    "Jungle favour go with thee."

    The "non-jungle" stories are a little flat, maybe excluding the delicious Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, but the jungle stories are still awesome as they were when I was a child.

    Well, I finally "Kippled." I can't believe I've never read this book until now. Of course I recognize part of the stories from Walt Disney but found the book better, plus a little more brutal but it was still a good read and I'm happy I finally got around to reading this collection of stories.
