The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book in One Volume. Kipling, English short-story writer, novelist and poet, who celebrated the heroism of British colonial soldiers in India and Burma, was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. These books contain the classic tale of the young boy, Mowgli, who, after becoming lost in the jungles of India is adopted by a family of wolves. The story follows Mowgli through the jungle and his adventures with other animals who live in the jungle, like Kaa the snake. Mowgli's story is also interspersed with other tales of the jungle, such as Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, lending depth and diversity to our understanding of Kipling's India. In much the same way Mowgli is carried away by the Bandar-log monkeys, young readers will be caught up by the stories, swinging from page to page, breathless, thrilled, and terrified.
