Introduction
It was a very young brown child — with big eyes and no clothes. H e was
not afraid. H e looked up at Father W olf and laughed.
(Is that a m an’s cub?’ said M other Wolf. ‘Show me. Bring it here.’
In
The fungle B ook
, a family o f wolves take the little boy into
their home. The child learns and plays with the other cubs. But
can Mowgli really live in the jungle? W ill the wolves want him
in their Pack? And will the dangerous tiger Shere Khan catch
him?
Rudyard Kipling, the writer of these stories, was born in Bombay
in India in 1865. His father sent him to school in England, but
he went back to India at the age o f seventeen. H e stayed there
for seven years, and worked for English-language newspapers. At
this time he began to write short stories, and then longer books.
Kipling married in 1892 and m oved to the US for four years.
Here, he wrote
The fungle Book.
It came out in tw o books —in
1894 and 1895. Readers of all ages enjoyed it then, and they
enjoy it today, more than a hundred years later.
K im
(1901) is
another book about a boy —this time a British boy —in India.
In South Africa, Kipling wrote another book about animals
-
Just So Stories
(1902). In
Just So Stories
and
The Jungle Book
, the
animals speak a language and have laws. They help friends w hen
they are in trouble. They love their families and children. They
are good or bad, clever or weak, brave or afraid.
Rudyard Kipling died in 1936 in a beautiful old house in
Sussex, England.
