The Second Jungle Book
Kipling returns to the Indian jungle with more tales of the man-cub Mowgli and his animal companions, alongside new fables of the wild—the white seal seeking a safe haven, the brave mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi battling cobras, and the elephants’ midnight dance. Richer and often darker than the first collection, these stories deepen Mowgli’s journey between the world of beasts and the world of men. Told with Kipling’s rhythmic mastery and profound feeling for nature, they blend adventure, wisdom, and wonder. A worthy companion to the beloved original, The Second Jungle Book completes one of the greatest works of animal storytelling ever written for young and old alike.
