Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" is a childhood classic that has seen many adaptations since it was first published.  This is the original 1894 edition that started it all.  It includes the original illustrations which introduced the imagination of Kipling to a generation of readers.  While many know Mowgli and Baloo and other beloved favorites from the movies, many parents will enjoy presenting the original tale to their children almost exactly the way young people enjoyed it from the beginning.  In fact, this original edition also includes illustrations that were drawn by Rudyard Kipling's own father.  This 1894 reprint edition will be a family heirloom for generations to come.
