Written in 1894,'The Jungle Book' reflects Kipling's deep affinity with the world of childhood and the mysteries of the animal kingdom.Its appeal today is as strong as ever, and the wonderfully atmospheric illustrations in this new edition give a fresh look to the immortal stories of Mowgli; from his adoption by the wolves and training in the stern law of the jungle by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther to the victory over the tiger Shere Khan.The magical evocation of the animal world is not confined to the Mowgli stories.The Jungle Book also contains several other charming tales,including 'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi',the story of a plucky little mongoose who takes on a pair of deadly cobras,and 'Toomai of the Elephants',in which a young mahout is uniquely privileged to witness,at dead of night in a forest clearing,the legendary dance of the elephants. The artist Gregory Alexander travelled widely in India,his research for this his first book,steeping himself in Indian art and village life,and developing a style which captures the flavour of the stories and the dark,secretive world of the jungle.Authentic in detail and hauntingly romantic in atmosphere,his pictures are firmly in the tradition of Indian book illustration and form the ideal accompaniment to Kipling's most engaging and memorable book. Gregory Alexander studied at Canterbury College of Art and West Surrey College of Art and Design,graduating in 1981.Several prestigious awards led to his election as an Associate member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours at the age of 24; full membership followed in 1987.He now paints in watercolour,oil and acrylic and his subjects reflect his love of travel. This edition of the stories is published in association with the National Trust.The Trust owns and administers Kipling's home,Bateman's,at Burwash in East Sussex and the house is open to the public.

Sinopsis
RUDYARD KIPLING was born in Bombay in India in 1865 to British parents, and brought by a Portuguese 'ayah' (nanny) and an Indian servant, who would entertain him with fabulous stories and Indian nursery rhymes. He was sent back to England when he was seven years old, and lived in a boarding house with a couple who were cruelly strict. Fortunately he returned to India aged 16, to work as the assistant editor of a newspaper in Lahore. He began publishing stories and poems and eventually had great success with his book Plain Tales from the Hills . After his marriage Kipling settled in America, and it was here that he wrote The Jungle Book . He then moved with his family to England, where he wrote Just So Stories for his daughter Josephine who tragically died of pneumonia. Rudyard Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 and died on January 18, 1936.
