About this ebook
A man-cub raised by wolves is taught the Law of the Jungle by a bear and a panther, and hunted by the tiger who wanted him as a kill. Kipling wrote it in Vermont, homesick for an India he had left at twenty-three, and the stories were first published as separate magazine pieces with verses between them.

Seven plates of forest and river painting by Arnold Böcklin and J. M. W. Turner carry the light and silence of the Seeonee Hills through the text.
