Foreword by Nelson Doubleday. Near fine in very good dust jackets. Book design by Oscar Ogg. Author photograph by Elliot and Frey Ltd. Kipling's Jungle Books center on the story of Mowgli an orphaned 'man-cub' who is raised in the jungle of India by wolves where he comes to learn the Laws of the Jungle. A major theme throughout the books is abandonment followed by fostering as in the life of Mowgli echoing Kipling's own childhood.
