The Indian-born writer and poet Rudyard Kipling, who was the first English recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. His satirical stories based on colonial society in India earned him recognition in England, although he is best remembered for his children's tales, particularly the classic animal adventures in the two Jungle Books (1894-95).

Collection of short stories for children by Rudyard Kipling, published in two volumes in 1894 and 1895. Set in India, the stories feature a boy, Mowgli, reared by wolves and the animals he encounters in the jungle. The stories inspired the formation by Baden Powell of the Wolf Cub division of the Boy Scout movement.
