A fine excellent example. "This most desirable pair will always fill an honorable place in any library of children's books" Quayle 87. Richards A76 & A85; Stewart 123 & 132. Livingston 104 116. A lovely mixed set of one of the cornerstone titles in children's literature and Kipling highlight and along with Just So Stories his most beloved work. First published in magazine format in 1893-4. British Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling was born in India lived there & in England & wrote these stories when he lived in Vermont. The tales are fables using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle for example lay down rules for the safety of individuals families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics & society of the time. 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 with the help of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther & then has to fight the tiger Shere Khan. The most famous of the other stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" the story of a heroic mongoose and "Toomai of the Elephants" the tale of a young elephant-handler. "The White Seal" in which the main character seeks a haven for his people where they would be safe from hunters has been considered a metaphor for Zionism then in its beginning. As with much of Kipling's work each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verseand succeeded by another. MacMillan unknown

This set contained in a custom blue cloth slipcase. Few books have shaped the imagination of childhood quite like Kipling's Jungle Books. First published in 1894 and 1895 these two volumes introduced the world to Mowgli Baloo Bagheera Kaa and Shere Khan. The timeless stories blended fable folklore and imperial adventure into one of the most enduring classics of English literature. The Jungle Book 1894 includes the first appearance of "Mowgli's Brothers" "Kaa's Hunting" and "Tiger! Tiger!" alongside such favorites as "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." The Second Jungle Book 1895 continued the talesdeepening the Mowgli cycle and adding enduring pieces like "The King's Ankus" and "Red Dog." Together the two books form the complete Mowgli canon. First edition sets in original cloth are increasingly scarce especially when both volumes present well. These are the foundational works of Kipling's career - the stories that earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature 1907 and secured his place in the canon of English storytelling. Based on folktales and legends that Kipling learned during his childhood in India the Jungle Books were met with huge success upon publication and continue to enthrall readers of all ages to this day. According to Professor Edwin L. Miller their publication "caused even severe critics of Kipling's previous work to admit that he is a writer of inspired genius." Largely focused on man's relationship to nature the Jungle Books in part narrate the tales of Mowgli a human "man-cub" raised by wolves as he tries to find his proper place in the world. As he struggles with his own identity he finds allies and adversaries among the animal communities through which he travels. They also include the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the heroic mongoose who would later inspire an animated short voiced by Orson Welles. For contributions like these Kipling became the first English-language writer and the youngest ever to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Very Good Near Fine. Macmillan and Co unknown
