The Jungle Book
Author: Rudyard Kipling
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 1513273167
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
These tales of the man-cub, Mowgli, and fables of the clever creatures of the wild, like the mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, still brim with the adventure, camaraderie, and beloved characters that have endeared them to readers for more than 125 years. Rudyard Kipling’s elegantly written short tales alternate with his memorable verse as he brings the wild world of the Indian jungle to vivid life. The interaction of the quirky animal characters is amusing and enlightening as Kaa the python, Bagheera the panther and the others evince all-too-human virtues and vices. Mowgli’s adventures provide thrills and amusement, but he is always learning, gaining knowledge of the world and the laws that govern it. The emotional theme of the loss of family and the importance of the support of loved ones surfaces repeatedly and provides some of the book’s most memorable and affirming moments. Readers will root for Mowgli as he confronts the villainous tiger Shere Khan, cheer Kaa the python and Baloo the bear as they mount a daring rescue of their man-cub friend, but these tales have a greater resonance than might be initially apparent. These are stories that stay with the reader, which might help explain how this book, which first appeared in 1894, has been adapted so often and so recently to film, television, music, comics, manga, cartoons and more. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Jungle Book is both modern and readable.

Kipling's Children's Literature
Author: Sue Walsh
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317108973
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Despite Kipling's popularity as an author and his standing as a politically controversial figure, much of his work has remained relatively unexamined due to its characterization as 'children's literature'. Sue Walsh challenges the apparently clear division between 'children's' and 'adult' literature, and poses important questions about how these strict categories have influenced critical work on Kipling and on literature in general. For example, why are some of Kipling's books viewed as children's literature, and what critical assumptions does this label produce? Why is it that Kim is viewed by critics as transcending attempts at categorization? Using Kipling as a case study, Walsh discusses texts such as Kim, The Jungle Books, the Just-So Stories, Puck of Pook's Hill, and Rewards and Fairies, re-evaluating earlier critical approaches and offering fresh readings of these relatively neglected works. In the process, she suggests new directions for postcolonial and childhood studies and interrogates the way biographical criticism on children's literature in particular has tended to supersede and obstruct other kinds of readings.
