3.0

A fine introduction for newcomers and a well chosen collection of tales from Kipling's Jungle Book stories (which in their original collection contain stories about more than merely Mowgli's life in the jungle).

Included in this collection are:

The story of Mowgli's brothers, in which the reader learns how Mowgli came to be adopted by the green eyed she wolf Raksha and the promise she made to Shere Khan.

The story of Bagheera's origin and the laws of the jungle

The story of Mowgli and the Red Flower

The hunt of Kaa and the Bandarlog

Tiger! Tiger! The story where Mowgli keeps his mother Raksha's promise to Shere Khan

And finally the story of how Mowgli returns to the jungle.
