The Second Jungle Book
The Second Jungle Book, published in 1895, continues the stories of Mowgli and adds others from India and beyond, each followed by a song. How Fear Came tells of the Water Truce and the first tiger; Letting In the Jungle shows Mowgli's revenge on the village that cast him out; The King's Ankus follows a jeweled treasure from a cobra's hoard through a trail of murders; Red Dog is the great battle against the dholes; and The Spring Running brings Mowgli to the edge of manhood. Between them stand The Miracle of Purun Bhagat, about a minister who becomes a holy man, The Undertakers, a conversation of a crocodile, a jackal and an adjutant-crane, and Quiquern, a tale of the Inuit. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
