Description
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a family of wolves. It tells of the enmity between him and the tiger Shere Khan, who killed Mowgli's parents, and of the friendship between the man-cub and Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the sleepy brown bear, who instructs Mowgli in the Laws of the Jungle.

HEIRLOOM QUALITY ORIGINAL EDITION (with B&W Illustrations) of this BRILLIANT CLASSIC
This edition is BEAUTIFULLY BOUND And PRINTED, IT is absolutely top quality and the COVER is exceptionally LOVELY. This book is a deep, spell-binding treatment of the Jungle. The writer knew animals, people and Life to mesmerizing degree. A child's imagination and appreciation and deep empathy will be developed. an adult will find it as truth well beyond conventional fiction. This is the book which i read as a child over and over and which made me a poet, as well as a pilgrim throughout my life.

My favorite book.
It was my favorite book when I was a child. I would read it over and over. Now that I’m a Grandma, I’ve just started reading it to my grandson. When I’m gone, I’ll leave the book to him.

Not quite as advertised…still beautiful.
I bought this book to make a gift for a friend. The details read that it was cloth bound. I assumed I would be able to embroider the cover. This book is NOT cloth bound. It is good quality, still beautiful. The cover is hard material like a heavy paperweight that has high gloss. You cannot use this for crafting.

Clássico muito bonito e confortável
Me apaixonei por essa coleção da editora (pela editora em si, na verdade) e estou muito feliz com a compra. Livros em inglês normalmente são bem caros por aqui, mas esse estava até mais barato se formos analisar o fato de ser língua estrangeira e capa dura. Ele não é muito grande em dimensões, mas para mim é perfeito porque é fácil de manusear. Outra coisa interessante é que ele é bem levinho, ao contrário de alguns livros capa dura por aí. Então ele acaba sendo bem confortável de se carregar para os lugares. Eu gosto da capa e de como o "The Jungle Book" está em dourado, porque ele reflete brilho quando você vai mudando o ângulo (a citação no fundo do livro também tem isso). De todo modo, eu acho que é um bom custo-benefício para quem gosta de colecionar. Ainda estou lendo, mas acredito que todos sabem como a storyline é incrível. Sou apaixonada pelo filme e quis o livro para mim. Não me arrependo.
