Publisher Description

" The great panther leaped as a kitten leaps at a dead leaf whirling overhead, struck left and right into the empty air that sung under the strokes, landed noiselessly and leaped again and again, while the half purr, half growl gathered head as steam rumbles in a boiler. ' I am Bagheera-- in the jungle-- in the night, and my strength is in me. Who shall stay my stroke?'" -- from " Letting in the Jungle" For Rudyard Kipling, the jungle was at once a fierce and an infinitely gentle place. The Noah' s Ark assortment of animal characters that populate his stories are endowed with personality and temperament-- their human counterparts are not difficult to recognize. Even Mowgli, the wolf-child, is secondary to the magnetism and allure of the jungle and its exotic creatures. Part Two includes the following stories: How Fear Came; The Law of the Jungle; The Miracle of Purun Bhagat; A Song of Kabir; Letting in the Jungle; Mowgli' s Song Against People; The Undertakers; A Ripple Song; The King' s Ankus; The Song of the Little Hunter; Quiquern; Angutivun Tina; Red Dog; Chil' s Song, The Spring Running; and The Outsong.

"In this second jungle book, we can rey, read more about Maugli, as he is growing. Actually, all of the characters passes throught an aging process. Althought it has less India magic, I can say I liked more this book, because of the adventures of Maugli, and the jungles Law. :)"

    " The second volume of Jungle Book stories by Rudyard Kipling is at the very least equal to the first. Together they make up my favourite of all Kipling's writing. "

    " I would give the stories about Mowgli a 3+ or maybe even a 4. But the other random stories in there were just ok - so it averages out to a 3. "

    " There's no doubt, Kipling is a writer of excellent prose, and the ideas behind the Jungle Book stories (in this book especially, the defeat of the Red Dogs - wow), so why only three stars? Actually, because I just don't like Mowgli..... "

    " Interesting. Each chapter skips from Mowgli to another tale, then back to Mowgli and so forth. I didn't really understand the ending, it was old English. But an interesting book, overall. "

    " A great storey for children that can be enjoyed by adults. This is a continuation of the life of Mowgli, the young orphan boy who was raised by wolfs. There are many adventures with his lovable animal friends & life lessons as he learns the Laws of the jungle. "

    " I didn't like this as much ad the first. True Mowgli is older so the tales were much darker. I think my main problem was there should've been more Mowgli stories. To me that's what The Jungle Book is. Not the other stories. & the last of the Mowgli stories left me feeling disappointed & flat. "

    " Re-reading again after over 50 years. Very enjoyable and realaxing read. I enjoyed some of the stories other than the ones about Mowgli and Rikki Tikki Tavi, but I still skipped the story about the seal. Maybe I'll finish it in another 50 years. "
