The Jungle Book Synopsis
Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to
create the most beautiful classics. Using a perfect mix of tradition and
the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st
Century technology. With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling gilt edges,
creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published.
Living among the wolves in the jungle, young man cub Mowgli quickly learns to live life among his wolf pack and all the animals that inhabit the jungle. But when the villainous tiger Shere Khan threatens Mowgli's life, black panther Bagheera offers to take Mowgli to a nearby man village where he will be safe from the tiger's wrath. Along the way, Mowgli gets tangled up in a series of encounters with a sly snake named Kaa, a ruthless orangutan named King Louie and a lazy bear named Baloo, who quickly becomes his guide to the 'bear necessities' of life. A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling's own childhood.
