The Jungle Book. Later edition of the childhood classic, handsomely bound by Bayntun-Rivière. Based on folk tales and legends that Kipling learned during his childhood in India, The Jungle Book was first published in periodicals in 1893-4, before it was printed in book form in 1894. An immediate success on publication, the book was reprinted twice the same year, and twice again in 1895.
