ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
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'.
They are best known for the `Mowgli' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the Jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther.
But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature.
