Manga Classics: The Jungle Book (Paperback)

Rudyard Kipling

Heavily influenced by his childhood in British-ruled India, Rudyard Kipling created some of the most well-read children's stories in Western Culture. Originally published as a series of short stories for magazines in the late 1800s, the Nobel Prize-winning Rudyard Kipling would eventually publish the classic The Jungle Book in 1894. Manga Classics brings this collection of Kipling's brilliant fables to a new audience with their faithful, unabridged adaptation of stories like Mowgli's tales, Rikki Tikki Tavi, Toomai of the Elephants, The White Seal, and more.

Praise for this book

"The artwork is so beautiful, and really brings the characters to life! I loved seeing the facial expressions of Mowgli and Rikki-Tikki and the others, showing their fierce jungle spirit. The action was easy to follow, since each panel shows what is going on very clearly. Really well put-together and beautiful art!" - Luminous Libro
