| Notes: | Short stories in the realm of animal fables. The stories range from the dens of the Seeonee Wolf Pack in India to the Novastoshnah seal colony in the Bering Sea, from a shrine high in the Himalayas to a garden of an English bungalow in the village of Segowlie. If you’re only familiar with the stories of the boy Mowgli from the Disney cartoon, you’re in for a surprise. There’s nothing romantic about Kipling’s jungle where the wild things follow a harsh code. COMMENTS — There are two volumes, 30 stories in all. Many editions only contain the 14 stories in Book One. |
