The tales inThe Jungle Bookare fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons.

Stories include the tale of "RikkiTikkiTavi", the tale of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephanthandler. The bestknown fables are the three stories revolving around the adventures of Mowgli, an abandoned mancub who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle.The Jungle Bookcame to be used as a motivational book by the Cub Scouts, a junior element of the Scouting movement. This use of the books universe was approved by Kipling at the request of Robert BadenPowell, founder of the Scouting movement, who had originally asked for the authors permission for the use of the Memory Game from Kim in his scheme to develop the morale and fitness of workingclass youths in cities. Akela, the head wolf inThe Jungle Book, has become a senior figure in the movement, the name being traditionally adopted by the leader of each Cub Scout pack.This case laminate collectors edition includes a Victorian inspired dustjacket.
