The Jungle Book is a collection of stories by English Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 - 18 January 1936). The stories were first serialized in magazines in 1893-94. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-half years. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Vermont. The tales in the book are fables, using animals to give moral lessons. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned man cub Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the story of a heroic mongoose, and Toomai of the Elephants, the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another.
