The Jungle Book; [together with] -- The Second Jungle Book. First editions in book form. Kipling's adventurous stories were based on folk tales learned during his childhood in India. The Jungle Book was serialized between 1893 and 1894 and became increasingly popular upon its publication as a book, prompting calls for a second instalment. The Second Jungle Book completed the Mowgli saga with five stories that "are essential to its emotional rounding-out" (Grolier).
