Synopsis

The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, 1895.


Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children’s books are classics of children’s literature, and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".
In 1907, at the age of 42, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date.

Review

''It would take too long to enumerate even half of the marvelous touches by which the creatures miscalled dumb are made to live for us by Rudyard Kipling . . . The saddest words of this volume are those with which he closes, 'And this is the last of the Mowgli stories!' '' --Vogue
