    Hunted by the fearsome tiger Shere Khan, a defenceless young man-cub is taken in by a family of wolves who name him Mowgli. Brought before Akela, the head of the wolf pack, Mowgli finds acceptance but also earns the tiger's wrath, who swears that one day the boy will be his.

    With the guidance of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther, Mowgli must quickly learn the ways of the jungle if he is ever to survive.

    In Audible's award-winning dramatisation of Kipling's classic tale, Mowgli's fate is magically, dramatically and faithfully brought to life by a cast that features the voice talents of Richard E Grant, Colin Salmon, Bill Bailey, Tim McInnerny and Celia Imrie.

I loved it! I particularly liked the introductions to each episode, quotes that don’t take you out of the story. I was completely immersed in it.

This was enriching, engrossing, and beyond entertaining. Even if you are not obsessed with Kipling and The Jungle Book stories (guilty!) you will love the voice acting and music that enhanced this classic that feels so fresh on Audible!

I don't remember if I used one of my (precious) credits for this - I don't think I did - but if it had costed me a credit, it would have been worth it. I would have paid for it too because I enjoyed it that much. As an avid audible/ audio book/ podcasts listner, I apprecaite the quality of storytelling, sound effects, narration, and how the narrators bring their animal characters to life through only their voice and breath work. If I remember correctly, the episodes are short, approximately 15-20 minutes, so you can break it up or binge on it (like I did). Happy hunting....

An All Around Excellent Audio Selection

This series is beautifully acted, directed, and orchestrated. I enjoyed it thoroughly! Occasionally the sound effects were a little on the nose, but 95% of the time they helped bring the tales to life. Highly recommended.

So Well Done
