The Jungle Book

Back cover:

The JUNGLE BOOK is memorable tale of the boy Mowgli, who when still a child, strayed from his village home, became lost in the deep forest, and there was sheltered and nursed with her own cubs by a mother wolf. You will meet the snarling Bengal tiger, Shere Khan, and his mischief-making jackal servant, Tabaqui the Dish-Licker; and Baloo, the brown bear who taught the wolf cubs the law of the jungle; also Bagheera, the black panther, and Kaa, the big rock python, along with many others.

You will read how Mowgli finally went back to live among men, but with a better knowledge and understanding and respect for all the creatures of the Animal Kingdom.

There are other stories too - the astonishing tale of THE WHITE SEAL, the exciting adventure of TOOMAI OF THE ELEPHANTS, and the unforgettable saga of a brave mongoose, "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi."
