Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born December 30, 1865 in Bombay, India. The name Rudyard was taken from a lake in Staffordshire, England. At the age of six, he and his younger sister were sent back to England where they lived with separate families that took in children for hire. He returned to India at age sixteen. Rudyard knew literary success at a young age and was able to travel. He married Carrie Balestier, an American, and moved to the United States. The Jungle Books were written in Vermont. He died January 18, 1936 in Middlesex, England during an operation.

      Six "Mowgli" stories from Kipling's Jungle Books are read in this charming audiobook collection. Ralph Cosham reads gently and evenly, but without memorable nuance. His style soothes with its air of Victorian authority as he follows the lost "man cub" on his adventures with the wolf pack; Bagheera, the panther; Kaa, the python; and Baloo, the bear. The stories stand on their own, with Kipling giving voice to the beasts of the Indian jungles and to the human child raised in their midst. The listener shouldn't expect the raucous fun of the Disney film; rather, this is an elegant old-world classic likely to entrance young listeners. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
