A review by tentacuddles
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

4.0

A delightful collection of short stories (akin nearly to fairy tales) that serve to highlight a number of different facets of nature and the place of mankind in or around it. Each story offers a fairly clear takeaway, and a rather entertaining story to go with it.

While I would have preferred more organization or a more clear thematic connection between all the stories, there were some elements that branched across; and no story ever felt like it 'overstayed its welcome'. While I do have my preferences (God I love that albino seal) this is overall a solid text, and very much worth the read.
