Into the Jungle: Stories for Mowgli

By Katherine Rundell

Book Overview

Costa Children's Book Award-winning author Katherine Rundell pens Kipling estate-approved Jungle Book origin stories

This wise and witty companion to Rudyard Kipling's 1894 classic is likewise a series of connected stories about the man-cub Mowgli and his adventures among the animals in the Indian jungle. It includes all the original favorites like Baloo and Bagheera and gives female characters, like Mother Wolf, a more prominent role in Mowgli's upbringing. The timely theme of the possibility of understanding and empathy across species, cultures, and genders will resonate with contemporary readers.
