1895119977London: Macmillan and Co. 1895. First edition of Kipling's Second Jungle Book. Octavo original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine and gilt vignette to the front panel all edges gilt pictorial title pages illustrated. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. Contemporary ownership inscription. 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. Another is law vs. freedom; the stories are not about animal behavior but about human archetypes in animal form. The books remain popular to this day and have been adapted several times for film and other media including the classic Walt Disney 1967 animation and its 2016 remake.

Second American trade edition or printing dated the year following the first US trade edition which preceded the UK edition. The dust jacket for the 1896 printing is noted by Tanselle and may or may not be identical to this dust jacket though one must accept the likelihood that at some point this example will end up married to a copy of the 1896 impression. It does replicate the binding design as the first dust jacket does and includes the designer's initials a feature that was dropped from the second edition/impression binding.
