The Jungle Book is a collection of timeless, fun stories worthy of their fame.

The writing of Kipling flows in a whimsical and poetic manner.

His writing appreciated the sound of language as much as its ability to convey a message.

It births the question, if we are the rulers of this world, are we even worthy of the powers and title.

If the world would truly be better, and a lot less gruesome and cruel to the other animals inhabiting it.

Some of the stories read very much like a modern YA book of parables with animals who seem much more human than humans.
