Classics Illustrated #22

Rudyard Kipling's beloved collections, "The Jungle Books", recounts the legendary and enchanting stories of Mowgli, an outcast boy reared by wolves, and  two wise animals who befriend him: Bagheera a black panther and Baloo a brown bear. Mowgli vengeful at first , grows through his adventures in the wild to become virtuous and caring, perhaps a bit more civilized than the human he rejoins. Kipling's tales -- illuminated by his own experiences in India and  south Africa -- continues to delight readers of all ages. Jeffrey Busch's charming illustrations capture all the wonders of Mowgli's jungle wonderland. Prestige format, full color 48 pages on glossy paper with a $3.95 cover price.
