Publisher's Synopsis
Kipling's classic collection of fables and poems presents the further adventures of Mowgli, as well as introducing new characters and settings. In HOW FEAR CAME, Hathi the elephant tells Mowgli the story of how the first tiger got its stripes; while in THE SPRING RUNNING, a seventeen-year-old Mowgli is torn between staying with his mother and returning to the jungle. QUIQUERN relates how two young Inuit set out across the arctic ice in a desperate quest to save their tribe from starvation, guided by a mysterious animal spirit; and in THE UNDERTAKERS the most dangerous animal on the river unexpectedly gets his come-uppance when his victims take revenge.
