There, Mowgli was brought up by wolves, and educated by the bear Baloo and the panther Bagheera.He was happy while growing up and learning the ways of the jungle -and his name was soon known amongst all the animals. But Mowgli'sgrowing fame provoked resentment and envy, and his life was soon threatened from all sides... First published in the late 1890s, Rudyard Kipling's two Jungle Books have enchanted generations of children and adults. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOften describedas an allegory for the society and politics of the time, The Jungle Book has now been adapted by critically-acclaimed South African playwright, Craig Higginson. The play asks: Who is your family? Those who look the same as you or those who love and nurture you? Here, the tales become a powerful examination of an emerging democracy, and the forces that threaten it. Based on a version by the celebrated director Tim Supple, this adaptation was first staged at Johannesburg's Market Theatre in 2008. This powerful and magical version of a much-loved classic is as resonant now as it was when it first appeared - both within South Africa and beyond its borders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudyard Kipling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849430101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849430104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.00w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e121128 \/ Jungle Book: Retold from the Rudyard Kipling Original\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rudyard Kipling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169912746239,"sku":"9781849430104","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4557a625-52c2-4a9d-9455-07cf0ed4e375.jpg?v=1689655649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jungle-book-rudyard-kipling-9781849430104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
