The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by British Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first
published in magazines in 18934. The original publications contain illustrations, some by Rudyard's father, John
Lockwood Kipling. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten
years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-half years. These stories were written
when Kipling lived in Vermont.[1]
The tales in the book (and also those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five
further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The
verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities.
Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle."[2] Other readers have
interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time.[3] The best-known of them are the three
stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian
jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and
"Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories
is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another.
The Jungle Book, because of its moral tone, came to be used as a motivational book by the Cub Scouts, a junior
element of the Scouting movement. This use of the book's universe was approved by Kipling after a direct petition of
Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, who had originally asked for the author's permission for
the use of the Memory Game from Kim in his scheme to develop the morale and fitness of working-class youths in
