Mowgli's Brothers

From The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling (1894)

Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book in 1894. It is one of the most famous adventure stories in the world. Kipling lived in India as a child and loved the jungles and the animals there. This story shows how courage, loyalty and love matter more than being the same as everyone else. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. Mowgli's story teaches that families are made by love, not just by blood.
