The Second Jungle Boo

Mowgli, the man-cub who is raised by a wolf-pack, is the main character in The Second Jungle Book which contains some of the most thrilling of the Mowgli stories. It includes "Red Dog", in which Mowgli and the python Kaa form an unlikely alliance, "How Fear Came" and "Letting in the Jungle" as well as "The Spring Running", which brings Mowgli to manhood and the realisation that he must leave Bagheera, Baloo, and his other friends for the world of man. Between each of these marvellously powerful stories Kipling includes some of his most stirring ballads and songs, notably "Mowgli's Song Against People" and "The Law of the Jungle".
