Mowgli, a little boy lost in the Indian jungle, is taken in by a family of wolves and grows up among them. Baloo the bear teaches him the Law of the Jungle, Bagheera the black panther protects him, and the tiger Shere Khan waits for his chance. Around Mowgli's story, Kipling tells other tales of animals: the white seal looking for a safe island, the mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi fighting the cobras of a garden. Kipling's stories, in the French translation of 1899.
