The Second Jungle Book

by Rudyard Kipling

Overview

In 'The Second Jungle Book', Kipling draws on the same elements that delighted so many readers in his original masterpiece – a profound knowledge of India, an understanding of jungle animals, and a remarkable imagination. Mowgli returns with his faithful companions – Bagheera the black panther, Baloo the lovable bear and Shere Khan the tiger – together with some new friends. Dark comedy, vivid descriptions and pure enchantment combine to create a second, equally powerful tale.

Editorial Reviews

The gift of writing for children is an unaccountable one, bestowed erratically and falling in unexpected places. Mr. Kipling has it in the fullest measure…Certainly the Jungle stories have never been approached in excellence by any other of his prose tales. The field is all his own, and he is safe even from imitators.”

San Francisco Argonaut

It would take too long to enumerate the half of the marvelous touches by which the creatures miscalled dumb are made to live for us by Rudyard Kipling…The saddest words of this volume are those with which he closes, ‘And this is the last of the Mowgli stories.’”

Vogue

Neither allegory nor fairy tale; it rises through imagination to something higher. Mr. Kipling does not use the animals of the jungle to illustrate human nature. He makes them akin…An art that is at once greater, more modern, and more human than any we have known.”

Vol. 31 Critic

A pure outburst of genius.”
