Other editions of book The Jungle Books

[This is an Abridged Audiobook Library Edition in vinyl case.] In these eight (8) classic tales, Mowgli the Indian boy is accidentally thrust out of the human community into the jungle, where he is brought up by wolves and befriended by Bagheera the black panther and Baloo the bear. The stories follow Mowgli's growth from jungle boyhood to dominance over the animals and his eventual return to human service as a forest ranger. The code of conduct in the animal world is severe and requires a high level of responsibility, integrity, and justice. In comparison with jungle law, humanity is unruly and undignified. There are strong elements of myth in the recurring theme of a fallen Eden: Mowgli is effectively shut out from his boyhood paradise when the blood-tie with humanity reclaims him. Included are the following (8) stories read by Wanda McCaddon: *Mowgli's Brothers *Cars Hunting *Tiger, Tiger *How Fear Came *Letting In the Jungle *The King's Ankus *Red Dog *The Spring Running 5.5 hours on 4 Audio Cassettes
