Into the Jungle: Stories for Mowgli by Katherine Rundell
4.0
This was average at the time of reading, but I think it is one of those books that gets better as one dwells on it. It is not my favourite of Katherine Rundell's writing, but it does feel like jungle writing. The illustrations, however, were marvelous.
Some favourite quotes:
"Bagheera tried very hard not to look pleased; he did not succeed, not even slightly."
"A beginning is a precious ting. as delicate and fragile as a newborn starling."
"The tales all tell the same story: that we fight and keep on fighting."
"Before Mother Wolf was a mother, she was a fighter; now she was both, and there was nothing more deadly in the whole of the jungle."
