About this title

Reviews

The renewed interest in Kipling is well served by the four stories in this production: "Mowgli's Brothers," "Kaa's Hunting," "Tiger-Tiger!," and "Letting in the Jungle." The selections tell of the adventures of a boy adopted by wolves and taught the laws of the jungle and the ways of each species. The boy must defend himself against Shere Khan, the tiger, and return to the village that cast him out. Those who only know Disney's cartoon version will be delighted with the original works' rich language and sophistication. Morever, these stories are for adults as well as children because, as true classics, they are moral tales open to many interpretations. The text is superbly read by Ralph Cosham. Highly recommended.

Now listeners of all ages can enjoy four of Kipling's adventurous jungle stories in unabridged form. Cosham gives appropriate voices to all the jungle animals--including Mowgli, the man-cub; Baloo, the wise brown bear; Bagheera, the black panther; Shere Khan, the sinister tiger. He reads in a clear, relaxed manner which holds the listener's attention and effectively uses pacing and intonation to communicate the tension of the tales, as well as the subtle humor. The inclusion of some of Kipling's lesser-known stories may lead children who are familiar with the Disney production to seek out the books. Good family entertainment to listen to again and again.
