Product Details

A stunning re-creation of one of the greatest literary works ever published.

Rescued as an infant from Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes, Mowgli is brought up by the Laws of the Jungle. He learns how to hunt and how to speak the languages of the Jungle creatures. But Mowgli is a man, and as he grows up he learns that he must take his place among his own kind. First, though, he must face his life-long enemy to discover who is the true King of the Jungle.

Kipling's animal favourites are brought to life in stunning illustrations by the award-winning illustrator, Robert Ingpen.
