My copy had a collection of stories that I do remember reading as a child (although this copy doesn't have the full set). I remembered the Kaa ones the best for whatever reason. How Fear Came is an interesting jungle fable.

My copy had: Mowgli's Brothers, Kaa's Hunting, Tiger! Tiger!, How Fear Came, and The King's Ankus.

The Czech side was translated by Aloys a Hana Skoumalovi.

It's certainly almost nothing like the earliest Dsney film of the same name, so much that it's hard to even begin comparing the two. But even judging it just as a children's book alone, it seems more intense that I would've expected (reading as an adult who hadn't read it before). But maybe that's the point. If a kid is unimpressed with the "baby stuff" found in other juvenile-aimed stories, have him/her read The Jungle Book. For that age, it's some intense stuff.

This new edition of Kipling's Jungle Book is absolutely beautiful! The full-color illustrations by Nicola Bayley are exquisite in their detail and amazingly life-like/realistic showcasing each animal, person, tree, etc.
This is an unabridged version of the 3 stories about Mowgli, the man-cub as well as the poems that Kipling used to frame the stories.
