The Jungle Books, regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children and best known for the “Mowgli” series, also constitutes a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling’s philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth and magic, are underpinned by Kipling’s abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery and the nature of the “Law.”
