The Jungle Book was written by Rudyard Kipling. The story revolves around the adventures of an abandoned ‘man cub’ Mowgli. Mowgli is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle with the help of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther, and then has to fight the tiger Shere Khan. When the wolves hear that the fierce tiger, Shere Kahn, is nearby, they decide to send Mowgli to a local ‘man tribe’.
