About this ebook
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.

The Jungle Book - Rudyard Kipling
The Man-Cub
It was morning. Mother Wolf was slowly waking up. Her cubs were already awake. Soon Father Wolf woke up.
"It is time to hunt again," he said.
As he walked toward the mouth of the cave where he lived with his family, Tabaqui, the jackal appeared. Wolves do not like jackals because they are dirty animals and will eat anything. They also tell lies and make trouble for the other animals.
