‘We be of one blood, ye and I. ’Hunted by Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger with blazing eyes, Mowgli grows up in the jungle with a wolf pack, under the protection of Bagheera, the black panther and Baloo, the brown bear who teaches wolf cubs the Laws of the Jungle. Learning values of brotherhood, family, courage and the timeless lesson of oneness with Nature and its mesmerizing creatures, Mowgli confronts his deepest fears—where does he belong?With the Jungle Books, Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich, symbolic portrait of man and nature and an eternal classic of childhood.
