About this Item

Reprints. Both books in the uniform red cloth with gilt titling to spine and gilt elephant's head motif to upper board. Top edge gilt. Each 20 � 13cm, vi +276pp, &299pp + 2pp ads. In his Mowgli stories, Rudyard Kipling expertly interweaves myth, morals, adventure and powerful story-telling. Set in Central India, Mowgli is raised by a pack of wolves and along the way he encounters tiger Shere Kahn, Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear. The Jungle Book also includes other stories such as that of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, a heroic mongoose and Toomai, a young elephant handler. The Second Jungle Book (Kipling's sequel to The Jungle Book) was first published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated stories, with all but one set in India. Condition: Both books are in very good condition. There is a little bumping and rubbing to the board's tips, and minor spotting to the page edges. Christ's Hospital school prize label to each volume (to the same pupil). Internally, the books are clean, bar a very little marginal spotting and the bindings are secure. A very nice set.

A note on our shipping: due to the ever increasing cost of sending books abroad (recent price changes for Royal Mail have reduced the costs to the US but Australia and Asia are rising), we have had to raise our prices in line with the increases.

We post at cost and if the book is cheaper to post than the default price shown by abebooks, we will reduce this cost when processing the sale. Alternatively, you can check the correct price at www.coxandbudge.co.uk before ordering where it is costed by weight.
