The Jungle Book is Rudyard Kipling's classic tale of a lost boy raised by animals in the wilds of India.
Mowgli is a young boy in the jungle. He has no human parents or companions. But what he does have is a bear, a panther, and other creatures who advise and befriend him. Together they face many dangers and adventures, As Mowgli finds himself in the clutches of the Monkey People, and confronts the wrath of Shere Khan, The tiger who separated him from his human family.
Generating numerous stage and screen adaptations since it was written in the 1890s, The Jungle Book is one of the best-known and best-loved works of fiction in the world.

For the first time in over a decade, Don Daily’s original illustrations of The Jungle Book are brought back to life with unprecedented quality, accompanied by Rudyard Kipling’s timeless and enchanting stories of the jungle.
When Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book nearly 120 years ago, he used his imagination and experiences in the Indian forest to create a majestic domain where animals formed their own societies. In 1993, Don Daily brought the jungle to life with beautiful illustrations detailing the worlds of Mowgli, Baloo, Kaa, Bagheera and other jungle dwellers. The stories teaching morals, self-discovery, loyalty and friendship are revived like never before, featuring a spectacular 8-page gatefold and full color spreads. This newly reformatted hardcover classic edition of The Jungle Book features the faithfully reproduced tales with Don Daily’s original illustrations, posthumously published in Daily’s honor using the world’s highest quality scanning and printing technology.
