The Jungle Book …By Rudyard Kipling….
Time and again, we reach here…it has been since my childhood…..
One of the all time favourate songs is from Mowgli….
‘Jungle, Jungle, Bath cheeli hey patha chala hey,…….’
Mowgli is a young boy raised by wolves in the wilds of India. Mowgli’s childhood is filled with excitement and laughter, but also with danger. Deep in the shadows lurks his sworn enemy, the ferocious man-eating tiger Shere Khan. Together with his animal friends, including Baloo, a sleepy brown bear; Bagheera, a wise black panther, and Kaa, a powerful python, the ‘man-cub’ learns about loyalty, friendship and the ways of the jungle.
Some used and still do call … Mowgli…
Jungle…is that life!!!
Finally could grab a copy of this book too…'The Jungle Book …By Rudyard Kipling….'
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first published in magazines in 1893–94. The original publications contain illustrations, some by the author's father, John Lockwood Kipling. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-a-half years. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Naulakha, the home he built in Dummerston, Vermont (just north of Brattleboro), in the United States.
