The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

Possibly Kipling's best-known, and likely his most widely adapted, work, the Jungle Book is full of the author's nostalgia for the India he knew as a child -- a place which, if it never existed in the real world, existed so vividly in his imagination it has captivated generations of readers since. The work is also rich with allegory, and the sly, exuberant wit of Kipling's verse.
All Readers of Tales (Critterly and Otherwise) fans of Kipling, and literary schmoozers are welcome to join us, as are likewise all Subtle Panthers, Feral-Child Heros, Fearsome Tigers, Sly Snakes, and courageous Mongeese (Mongooses?) whether they have read the work or not -- and everyone is invited to attend in their Furred, Finned, Scaled, or Feathered best!
Copies of the work may be had at the Whitehorn Library in Caledon VictoriaCity,
or found online at
