発行者による作品情報
Rudyard Kipling, the author, is one of the most acclaimed writers, of both prose & verse, of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The most beautiful thing is he spent his early childhood in India, so his writing style is greatly influenced by our languages, and it clearly reflects in his works. Apart from his poems for children, Kipling is remembered for his tales and poems about British soldiers in India.
Kipling most-famous works include ‘The Jungle Book’, ‘Kim’, ‘Just So Stories’, ‘The Man who would be King’, and so on. ‘The Jungle Book’ is a collection of short stories, first published in 1894. All these stories are fables, which use animals to impart moral lessons. Ever since its publication, it’s widely available in comics form, drama, animated films and T.V. series. All the stories in the book are very interesting, full of enjoyment, thrilling somewhere especially ‘Mowgly’ is such a character liked by every one irrespective of age. Fully adventurous.
Language is lucid and a must-have book for everyone.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Adapted by Powell from Kipling's The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book, this interactive entry in the Seek and Find Classics series invites readers to take part in the unfolding story. In more than a dozen seek-and-find scenes keyed to significant moments in the plot, children are asked to find 10 objects and animals (and Mowgli, of course) in Frenna's cinematic cartoons. The retro vibe of her artwork at times recalls the Disney adaptation but still offers a distinctive spin on the characters and drama of the tales. Also available: Alice in Wonderland. Ages 8 up.
