Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics & society of the time.
The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families & communities. The tales are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. British Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling was born in India lived there & in England & wrote these stories when he lived in Vermont. First published in magazine format in 1893-4. A lovely mixed set of one of the cornerstone titles in children's literature & Kipling highlight & along with Just So Stories, his most beloved work.
