This oversized Classic Press hardcover brings Rudyard Kipling's timeless story to life in expressive black-and-white illustration, published in 1968, the year after Disney's beloved film introduced a whole new generation to the tale.
A meaningful gift for Kipling admirers, vintage book collectors, and anyone furnishing a reading corner with beautiful old things.
Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book while living in Vermont in the mid-1890s, drawing on childhood memories of India, where he was born in 1865 and spent his early years before being sent to England for schooling. Published in 1894 with a sequel following in 1895, the interlinked animal fables became one of the most enduring works of English children's literature, and Kipling went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.
