The Jungle Book
by Rudyard Kipling
I am pretty sure that I read this book when I was younger. The stories were familiar and I was not surprised that the book did not resemble Disney's Jungle Book. (It is amazing how much power Disney has had to change our memories of certain stories.)
I picked this up again because The Jungle Book is so important in The Tiger's Wife. I wanted to know what Kipling's images were of Shere Khan since this story is the only way that a rogue tiger is recognized in The Tiger's Wife.
I did not really get any more insight into Tea Obreht's novel. I understand why The Jungle Book is so important to the character's in the book - I was mostly wondering if there was some hidden meaning.
It was good to revisit The Jungle Book. Although Kipling was definitely a product of his time and place, his stories are fun to read. In my opinion the book is much more fun than the movie.
