The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is a short collection of stories published by Kipling in various magazines between 1893 and 1894. Kipling spent both his early years and his late teenage years in India, and that upbringing is front and center in these stories — despite them being written while he was living in Vermont, in the United States.
The stories are fable-like, with most of them centering on the lives of anthropomorphised jungle animals and a few focused on human characters in India. The stories were popular from the start, and have since been adapted in countless ways in print, screen, and other media.

        , and it is un­sports­man­like to touch him. They say too—and it is true—that man-eaters be­come mangy, and lose their teeth.
        The purr grew louder, and ended in the full-throated “Aaarh!” of the tiger’s charge.
        Then there was a howl—an untiger­ish howl—from Shere Khan. “He has missed,” said Mother Wolf. “What is it?”
        Father Wolf ran out a few paces and heard Shere Khan mut­ter­ing and mum­bling sav­agely, as he tum­bled about in the scrub.
        “The fool has had no more sense than to jump at a wood­cut­ters’ camp­fi

        Then more than half the Pack yelled: “A man—a man! What has a man to do with us? Let him go to his own place.”

        “And turn all the peo­ple of the vil­lages against us?” snarled Shere Khan. “No; give him to me. He is a man, and none of us can look him be­tween the eyes.”

          There was a long hush, for no sin­gle wolf cared to fight Akela to the death. Then Shere Khan roared: “Bah! What have we to do with this tooth­less fool? He is doomed to die! It is the man-cub who has lived too long. Free Peo­ple, he was my meat from the first. Give him to me. I am weary of this man-wolf folly. He has trou­bled the jun­gle for ten sea­sons. Give me the man-cub, or I will hunt here al­ways, and not give you one bone! He is a man—a man’s child, and from the mar­row of my bones I hate him!”
