Description
Rudyard Kipling published The Second Jungle Book in 1895, a sequel to his stories of Mowgli and the jungle. Five new tales follow Mowgli as he grows toward manhood. He faces a drought, a lost city of treasure, and an invasion of wild dogs. Bagheera, Baloo, and Kaa still stand beside him.
The final stories bring Mowgli's farewell to the pack. He must leave the jungle for the world of men, and the parting is deeply felt. Other pieces tell of the far north and of life under the earth. Poems and songs frame each tale. Together the two books form a classic of children's literature.
