2014réf. 2351782New York: Penguin Classics 2014. Reprint. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 1x5x7. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. 2014 Hard Cover. lxi 381 pp. Edited with an introduction and notes by Kaori Nagai. Inspiration for the Walt Disney film. The story of Mowgli the abandoned "man-cub" who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central India is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as the bear Baloo the graceful black panther Bagheera and Shere Khan the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories in The Jungle Books range from the dramatic battle between good and evil in "Rikki-tikki-tav" to the macabre comedy "The Undertakers." With The Jungle Books Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich symbolic portrait of man and nature and an eternal classic of childhood. This edition contains both of Kipling's Jungle Books as well as "In the Rukh" the story that introduced readers to Mowgli. Penguin Classics hardcover books

Leaves and wrappers printed in orange and green 1914 & 1915 or orange and black 1916. These undoubtedly-unauthorized American calendars came out during the first three years of The Great War across the Atlantic ironically they bear Kipling's favorite Indian symbol of good fortune the swastika. Each page week bears a quote from a Kipling work such as "And a woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke." Sully and Kleinteich was a publisher of paper goods such as moving-picture books for children and calendars. "1914" reads "New York Sully and Kleinteich" on the front cover and has the S&K monogram on the rear; "1916" has just the S&K monogram; "1915" has no indication of publisher at all but clearly matches the other two. "1914" and "1915" are in remarkably near-fine condition; "1916" is lacking most of its horizontal spine and there is some edge-wear to the wrappers. All three are uncommon. Not in Livingston or Stewart. unknown books
