The Jungle Book , written by Rudyard Kipling and first published in 1894, is a collection of short

stories and poems that take place in the dense jungles of India. The stories are filled with adventure,

friendship and important life lessons, featuring a colourful cast of characters, including animals,

humans and mythical creatures. The most famous of these stories revolves around a young boy

named Mowgli, who is raised by wolves and learns the laws of the jungle from his animal friends.

Mowgli’s adventures with his friends Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther and Kaa the

python are the heart of the collection. They teach Mowgli valuable lessons about survival, loyalty

and the importance of understanding the natural world. Mowgli must also face challenges, such as

confronting the fearsome tiger Shere Khan and navigating the complexities of human society, when

he encounters a village near the jungle.
