Book Excerpt: 
. . .LETTING IN THE JUNGLE Veil them, cover them, wall them round— Blossom, and creeper, and weed— Let us forget the sight and the sound, The smell and the touch of the breed! Fat black ash by the altar-stone, Here is the white-foot rain, And the does bring forth in the fields unsown, And none shall affright them again; And the blind walls crumble, unknown, o'erthrown And none shall inhabit again!

You will remember that after Mowgli had pinned Shere Khan's hide to the Council Rock, he told as many as were left of the Seeonee Pack that henceforward he would hunt in the Jungle alone; and the four children of Mother and Father Wolf said that they would hunt with him.

Timeless.
So much thought and imagination.
Animal lover forever.
Everything made sense, the laws of the jungle.
Can't rememeber the last time i read something so amazing and unique.
I dont cry reading books but this nearly got me at the end.

Deşi Prima carte a junglei nu mă atinsese aproape deloc, părându-mi-se mai degrabă o încercare eşuată de a scrie o carte pentru copii (deoarece incoerenţa firului narativ, puzzle-ul epic, depăşeşte cu mult mintea unui inocent), A doua carte a junglei este o adevărată panoramă (nevinovată, e drept, d
