by
J. L. KIPLING, W. H. DRAKE & P. FRENZENYLONDON: Macmillan and Co., 1894 & 1895 [published date: 1894-95]. BOTH RARE TRUE FIRST EDITIONS. FIRST ISSUE. FIRST STATE. 8vo. 7.5\" x 5.25\" Inches. (LxB). Pp. vi, (2), 212; (6), 238, (2, ads) pages. Bound in fine original publisher\'s rich vibrant dark blue cloth bindings, with fine bright gilt designs & lettering on front cover & spine, all edges gilt. Rare first editions of Kipling’s classic Jungle Books, “replete with adventure and excitement,” with numerous illustrations, beautifully bound. No child should be allowed to grow up without reading The Jungle Books. First Published in 1894 and 1895, the tales are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons, the stories crackle with as much life and intensity as ever. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families & communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or \"heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle.\" Rudyard Kipling pours fuel on childhood fantasies with his best-known tales of Mowgli, lost in the jungles of India as a child and adopted into a family of wolves, revolving around the adventures of an abandoned \"man cub\" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian Jungle with the help of Baloo the bear & Bagheera the black panther, & then has to fight the tiger Shere Khan. Mowgli is brought up on a diet of Jungle Law, loyalty, and fresh meat from the kill. Regular adventures with his friends and enemies among the Jungle-People--cobras, panthers, bears, and tigers--hone this man-cub\'s strength and cleverness and whet every reader\'s imagination. Mowgli\'s story is interspersed with other tales of the jungle, such as \"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi\", the story of a heroic mongoose, & \"Toomai of the Elephants\", the tale of a young elephant-handler. \"The White Seal\", in which the main character seeks a haven for his people where they would be safe from hunters, has been considered a metaphor for Zionism, then in its beginning,\" lending depth and diversity to our understanding of Kipling\'s India. In much the same way Mowgli is carried away by the Bandar-log monkeys, young readers will be caught up by the stories, swinging from page to page, breathless, thrilled, and terrified. As with much of Kipling\'s work, each of the stories is accompanied by a piece of verse. This book set is quite rare, especially in this near fine condition. A classic work.
