Two volumes of Mowgli’s adventures are collected together here. The Jungle Book introduces the man-cub himself, a human foundling raised by a family of wolves, and charts his bitter feud with the tiger Shere Khan, killer of his parents, alongside his close bond with Bagheera the black panther and Baloo the sleepy brown bear, who teaches him the Laws of the Jungle. The Second Jungle Book gathers together some of the most exciting Mowgli tales, among them Red Dog, in which Mowgli strikes an unlikely alliance with the python Kaa, How Fear Came, Letting in the Jungle, and The Spring Running, the story that carries Mowgli into manhood and forces him to accept that he must leave Bagheera, Baloo and his other jungle friends behind for the world of men.
