Rudyard Kipling
Children everywhere have read and loved Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book—and continue to do so. Here Blackstone offers this collection of moral fables in its entirety.
Tales of Mowgli, the boy raised by animals in the exotic jungles of India; Rikkitikkitavi, a courageous young mongoose who battles the sinister black cobra Nag; Toomai, the boy who works with elephants; and more will delight listeners both young and old. These classic stories brim with adventure and thrills as the lively characters fend off ferocious tigers and deadly snakes, slip through the jungle to watch elephants dance, and seek refuge from dangerous hunters.

Featured Article: The top 100 kids books of all time
Listening to a story is the first way that we’re introduced to books as kids.

Representing listens for kids ages 0-12, and featuring animals, magical creatures, awkward middle schoolers, and more, our kids essentials will help you rediscover the magic of childhood.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Jungle Book I & II to be better than the print version?
Given that I have never read the print versions of Jungle Book I & II, I am unable to consider it better than then audio editions. Nevertheless, I used the audio edition to my advantage. I listened to this book wherever and whenever I could. I took it places and enjoyed it in a way I could not do with a print book, such as while driving. I also listened to chapters again to catch what I have missed. If you do not have time to read the print version, listen to the audio edition while jogging, driving, or cooking.What other book might you compare The Jungle Book I & II to and why?
Of Kipling's contemporaries, I compared his Jungle Book I & II to Joel Chandler Harris' "Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings." Both focused on the folklore and songs of a region, giving their stories an air of the exotic. Kipling did not write The Jungle Book for Indian readers but English, and Harris did not write Uncle Remus for African Americans but Anglo Americans. I still enjoy their works but I keep in mind that these stories would be different if written by Indians and African Americans, respectively.What about Ralph Cosham’s performance did you like?
Ralph Cosham's performance has great range. He portrayed a variety of characters and accents, both animals and human. I heard The Jungle Book.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Moments in the book that particularly moved me were those where the movie and animated versions veered off from the text. I was surprised to read how Shere Khan really died. His original death showed cunning, collaboration, and coordination of Mowgli's part.Any additional comments?
I listened to many of these stories twice to fully absorb details I missed the first time. Kipling is an exceptional storyteller worth reading and rereading his signature work.Superb Storytelling
