The Second Jungle Book

First published in 1895, this companion volume to The Jungle Book gathers further Mowgli stories and separate animal tales. Mowgli, now older, deals with the wolves, the tiger's old feud, a pack challenge, and his movement between jungle law and the human village. Other pieces follow a white seal, a mongoose in an English bungalow, and animals of the Indian hills. Settings include the Seeonee forest, the Waingunga, and Himalayan country. The book is a story collection of jungle and animal life, not a continuous novel and not a naturalist's field report.

Bound in brown cloth with a design in black and gold by Eccles. Brown endleaves. Brown slipcase.
