The incantatory text of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Books still rewards reading aloud* Sunday Times * The Jungle Book was one of those rare books that I felt I was actually living as I read it. -- Michael Morpurgo Around a century ago, Rudyard Kipling laid the foundations of modern children's literature with works such as The Jungle Book, Just So Stories and Puck of Pook's Hill. Far from the fusty Victorian conventions of the time, they were wild, magnificent stories that felt as though they'd always existed, stories people might have told each other in the caves. * The Daily Telegraph * The stories are timeless, carefully crafted classics, and although they're intended for children, there is no doubt in my mind that this terrific book will appeal equally to young and old * Books Monthly * The superlative story-telling is world-renowned... a good edition of these classics * Parents in Touch *
Famous for his tales of adventure in British India, Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) is one of the most popular writers of all time and the first English-speaking recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
