"The Jungle Book introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a family of wolves. It tells of the enmity between him and the tiger Shere Khan, who killed Mowgli's parents, and the friendship between the man-cub and Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the sleepy brown bear, who instruct Mowgli in the Laws of the Jungle.
This edition contains many of the original drawings by Rudyard Kipling's father, and includes Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Kipling's wonderful story of te duel between the mongoose and Nag the cobra, as well as Toomai of the Elephants, The White Seal and Her Majesty's Servants.

I really wanted to like this book that I found on a flea market but unfortunately I didn't. Strangely enough I felt bad for not really getting into the story. I prefered the shorter stories to the actual Mowgli one, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi maybe being my favourite.
Hopefully the next reader will like the book better.
EDIT 15 July 2008 The book is now leaving for onniManni. Happy reading!

I liked the book very much. The White Seal was my favorite. White Seal met sea cows. Ida Turpeinen has also written about sea cows in her book Elolliset. It was so interesting to read a book in which animals tell about there lives themselves.
