About the Author
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay on 30 December 1865 and made a significant contribution to English literature in various genres, including poetry, short story and novel. Nicola Bayley studied Art at St Martin's and the Royal College of Art. Nicola has won critical acclaim and many prizes for her beautifully illustrated and minutely observed pictures. She lives in London.
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-6–Three stories–"Mowgli's Brothers," "Kaa's Hunting," and "Tiger! Tiger!"–and six of the poetic songs from Kipling's classic work are accompanied by painterly illustrations. Floral-patterned borders decorate the gutter of every spread, drawing the eye to what is customarily an empty space. A combination of detailed miniature drawings and small framed paintings is strategically placed throughout the text. As is typical of Bayley's style, the masterful use of light, detail, rich color, and texture creates striking and evocative visual effects. The images of the tiger are especially expressive. Unfortunately, the decorative layout and small size of the images don't fully capture the lush setting and drama of Mowgli's adventures. Still, this is a beautifully designed book. Jerry Pinkney's The Jungle Book (HarperCollins, 1995) is another visually appealing version that includes 18 of Kipling's original stories.– Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI
